HP-UX Installation and Removal Instructions
The following instructions are valid for HP-UX 11i r3. Instructions may differ slightly for different versions of HP-UX, but the principle is the same. If in doubt, consult the operating system documentation.
A host computer is the computer to be controlled, running VNC Server. A client computer is a computer to connect from, running VNC Viewer.

Installing VNC Enterprise Edition on a host computer
To install VNC Enterprise Edition from a HP-UX depot, type swinstall -s <depot> at the command line, where <depot> is the absolute path to the VNC Enterprise Edition .depot file (this command will fail with a relative path). You will need to be a user with administrative privileges. Both VNC Server and fully-featured VNC Viewer are installed on the host computer.
Note: Alternatively, you can install VNC Enterprise Edition from an unpackaged binary (tarball). Follow these instructions.
VNC Enterprise Edition is installed to /usr/local/bin. To configure paths for all users, including those logging in via SSH, and to provide access to the reference documentation, add the following to /etc/profile:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/openwin/bin MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/man |
Unlocking VNC Server
After installation, you must enter a license key to unlock VNC Server. To do this, type vnclicense -add <key> at the command line, where <key> is a valid license key. For more information, and to see how to get a trial key, see License key FAQ.
vnclicense, type man vnclicense.
Installing fully-featured VNC Viewer on a client computer
You can install fully-featured VNC Viewer on as many HP-UX client computers as you like by installing the VNC Enterprise Edition .depot file as explained above. You will need to be a user with administrative privileges. Note that VNC Server is also installed, but you cannot use it unless you have a valid license key.
Running standalone VNC Viewer on a client computer
You are free to download standalone VNC Viewer to as many HP-UX client computers as you like. To run it, double-click the downloaded file (note you may have to grant it executable permissions first). This is useful if you do not want, or have sufficient privileges, to install VNC Viewer. In addition, it is the only way to get just VNC Viewer on a HP-UX client computer. Note you can also carry standalone VNC Viewer with you on a USB memory stick or similar removable storage device.
VNC Address Book is not available in standalone VNC Viewer.
Removing VNC Enterprise Edition
To remove VNC Enterprise Edition and all supporting files, type swremove vnc-E at the command line. You will need to be a user with administrative privileges.
