Hi Clem,

I very much think you are walking a very fresh, possibly untouched path. I wasn’t able to track down any resources on setting up VNC Viewer for the Pi specifically.

> Yeah, you can install both the [viewer](https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/) and [server](https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/vnc/) on a range of devices, Windows and Raspberry Pi included(for both). You can configure VNC a couple of ways, [locally and through web](https://help.realvnc.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002249797-All-About-Direct-Connections-#enabling-direct-connectivity-on-a-remote-computer-0-1) - it’s worth taking a read through.

I’d start by downloading and installing VNC Viewer for the Pi from the link sent through on a previous topic and start by connecting to a client (or server) that you know you can connect to from another system.

I’m keen to see how you go!  
Liam
