How to Install and Configure a VNC Server on CentOS 7

In this tutorial, we will learn how to install and configure a VNC server on CentOS 7. Before starting the installation process, make sure your system is up-to-date with the latest packages. Run the command `yum update` to ensure that all packages are updated.

Once your system is updated, you can start installing the GNOME desktop environment. This will provide a graphical interface for your VNC server. Install the GNOME desktop environment by running the command `yum groupinstall 'GNOME Desktop'`.

Next, download the bootstrap files using the `wget` package. Run the command `yum install wget` to ensure that `wget` is installed.

To configure your network settings, make sure you have the correct IP address, gateway, netmask, and network device name. You can check these settings by running the command `ip addr show`.

Now, let's start installing VNC on CentOS 7. First, update your system with the latest packages using the command `yum update`. Once updated, install TigerVNC server from the TigerVNC GitHub repository.

To configure VNC access for multiple users, create two user accounts and grant them access to the VNC server. You can do this by running the command `useradd 'username'` followed by `passwd 'username'`.

For demonstration purposes, we will also install the GNOME desktop environment on our CentOS 7 server. This will allow us to test VNC connectivity.

If you encounter any issues with your current configurations before rebooting your server, you can boot into the default menu entry using `grub2-set-default`. You can also copy an existing menu entry from `/boot/grub2/grub.cfg` and modify it as needed.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to install VNC on CentOS 7 Linux. We will cover how to configure VNC access for multiple users and test VNC connectivity.

Accessing Your CentOS 7 Server Remotely via VNC

Once the installation is complete, you can access your CentOS 7 server remotely using VNC. To do this, open a VNC viewer on your local machine and connect to `YOURIP:1`. Replace `YOURIP` with the IP address of your CentOS 7 server.

That's it! You should now be able to access your CentOS 7 server remotely via VNC.
