The following instructions will install a VNC server that will connect to the primary desktop display. This assumes that you already have a desktop installed and running (LXDE, XFCE, etc.). The VNC service will autostart when the RaspberryPi boots up.
1. Install x11vnc
1 | sudo apt-get install x11vnc |
2. Set password. You will be asked to enter it twice.
1 | x11vnc -storepasswd |
3. Create the autostart folder (if it doesn’t already exist)
1 | mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart |
4. Create the autostart entry as ~/.config/autostart/x11vnc.desktop

5. Start the x11vnc process manually
