Manually installing VNC® Enterprise Edition for UNIX

Installing from tarball

As well as the packaged versions of the software, we also provide tarballs of the binaries. To install these, untar the files into a temporary directory and run the included vncinstall script. This will install VNC programs and manual pages into the default directory, and configure additional system files.

You can also specify where vncinstall installs programs, manual pages and the XFree86 module as command-line parameters as follows:

vncinstall program-dir man-dir module-dir

These parameters are all optional, but must be specified in this order. In other words, if you want to specify where vncinstall copies the XFree86 module, you must also specify where it copies the programs and manual pages.

Once vncinstall has successfully completed you can delete the contents of the downloaded tarball.
