RealVNC Connect gives you the full graphical desktop, not just a terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-you-ll-need\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you&#8217;ll need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A Linux computer with RealVNC Server installed and running<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An Android phone or tablet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A RealVNC Connect account &#8211; a <a href=\"https:\/\/manage.realvnc.com\/en\/auth\/sign_up\">free trial<\/a> is available<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An internet connection on both devices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-step-1-set-up-realvnc-server-on-your-linux-computer\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Set up RealVNC Server on your Linux computer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the Linux computer you want to control:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realvnc.com\/en\/connect\/download\/\">RealVNC Connect setup app<\/a> from the RealVNC website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Download for Linux.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extract the installer in your Downloads folder using your file manager, then run it by double-clicking the RealVNC Connect installer icon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Accept and Install, and follow the on-screen instructions. If prompted to disable Wayland, accept &#8211; this is needed for RealVNC Connect to function correctly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once installation completes, choose Start my free trial if you&#8217;re new to RealVNC Connect, or Sign in to continue if you already have an account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your browser will open automatically. Follow the on-screen prompts, then click Open to return to the RealVNC Connect Setup app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review the settings shown, then click Launch. If you keep the default VNC Password, make a note of it &#8211; you&#8217;ll need it when you connect from another device.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realvnc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/realvnc-server-setup-linux.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-126525\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The RealVNC Connect setup screen on Linux, showing the VNC password to note down.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Install RealVNC Viewer on your Android device<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On your device, open the Play Store and download the <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.realvnc.viewer.android&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;gl=US\">RealVNC Viewer: Remote Desktop app<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the app and sign in using your RealVNC account credentials.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your Linux computer will appear automatically in your list of remote computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Connect to your Linux computer from Android<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tap your Linux computer in the list to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Verifying the connection with Identity Check<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first time you connect, RealVNC Viewer shows an Identity Check screen with a Catchphrase and Signature.

Install RealVNC Server on the Linux computer and the RealVNC Viewer app on your Android device, then sign in with the same RealVNC account on both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does my Linux computer need to be switched on?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes &#8211; it needs to be powered on and logged in to a graphical desktop session, with RealVNC Server running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the RealVNC Viewer app for Android free?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Downloading and installing RealVNC Viewer is free. You need an active RealVNC Connect subscription or free trial to connect to a computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to know my Linux computer&#8217;s IP address?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Once you&#8217;re signed in with the same RealVNC account on both devices, your Linux computer appears automatically in RealVNC Viewer over the cloud connection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Control a Linux computer from your phone or tablet.
