# We now need to run the VNC Server, so enter the following command into your SSH window: <code> vncserver :1</code>. If you haven't downloaded the VNC server application, follow step 2 of Getting Started. If you're using Windows, I can't guarantee that <code> tightvncserver</code> will download over your SSH connection.

You may need to connect the Pi to an external monitor/keyboard/mouse to install the application.
# If this is the first time you've started the VNC server, you will be prompted to enter and confirm a password. It would make sense to use “raspberry” for this, but passwords are limited to 8 characters, so I use “raspberr”. Note that this is the password that you will need to use to connect to the Raspberry Pi remotely. You will also be asked if you want to create a separate “read-only” password – say no.

# The VNC server is now running and so we can attempt to connect to it, but first we must switch to the computer from which we want to control the Pi and setup a VNC client to connect to the Pi. Open the VNC viewer you downloaded earlier and enter <code>raspberrypi.local:1</code> for the VNC Server. Leave the Encryption at the default setting and click Connect. Ignore the warning and enter the password you created earlier ("raspberr").
