Windows and macOSInstalling TigerVNC on Windows or macOS is a bit more tricky, as you need to download the binaries from the Sourceforge website, which isn’t really intuitive.I have a step-by-step installation guide in my article dedicated to VNC on Raspberry Pi. Click on the link to read more if this is a solution that suits you.But once installed, it’s basically the same thing as on Linux:4. Best for External Access: TeamViewerIntroductionTeamViewer is a proprietary software very similar to VNC for remote desktop use but adds additional features, mostly business-oriented.For example, TeamViewer facilitates remote access to a machine in another building/city over the Internet.The easy thing about TeamViewer is that there’s no need to open a specific port for each computer as with previous solutions. By default, TeamViewer connects on port 5938 but can also use ports 80 and 443 if not opened (so it will work natively most of the time).I’ll give you a brief introduction about TeamViewer here, but if you want to know more, please check my complete guide about TeamViewer by clicking here.InstallationThe installation is not obvious because even if it is mentioned in the documentation of a package for the ARM, it is not present in the Linux download links and there isn’t a Raspberry Pi category.The download is done from this page. You should be able to open this page from your Raspberry Pi, download the correct version (32-bit or 64-bit) and then install it with the graphical tool.But if needed, I’ll give you the installation procedure from a terminal, without having to go to their site:Get the ARM package for TeamViewer:wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer-host_armhf.deb Install it:sudo dpkg -i teamviewer-host_armhf.deb You will get some dependencies errors, fix them by doing:sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get -f install If you have a TeamViewer account (paid version), you can configure it by doing:sudo teamviewer setup Otherwise, you will need to set a password to connect, like this: sudo teamviewer passwd YOURPASSWORDAnd then you can just get the Raspberry Pi ID in this way:sudo teamviewer info Connect From LinuxOn Linux, start by downloading the TeamViewer client from the official website.Then install it with your package manager or by doing something like:sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_15.25.5_amd64.debStart the app via the Start menu or by typing “TeamViewer” in a terminal.Log in if you have an account.Then enter the TeamViewer ID from the Raspberry Pi in the Partner ID field and press enter.It will ask
