15.3 Installing VNC on Fedora 31
Access to a remote desktop requires a VNC server installed on the remote system, a VNC viewer on the system from which access is being established and, optionally, a secure SSH connection. While a number of VNC server and viewer implementations are available, Fedora has standardized on TigerVNC which provides both server and viewer components for Linux-based operating systems. VNC viewer clients for non-Linux platforms include RealVNC and TightVNC.
To install the TigerVNC server package on Fedora 31, simply run the following command:
# dnf install tigervnc-server
If required, the TigerVNC viewer may also be installed as follows:
# dnf install tigervnc
Once the server has been installed the system will need to be configured to run one or more VNC services and to open the appropriate ports on the firewall.
