WEBVTT 00:00.050 --> 00:02.330 Let's now install and configure VNC. 00:02.390 --> 00:07.850 VNC will simply allow you to use the Raspberry Pi desktop from your own computer. 00:07.880 --> 00:12.980 This is great, so you don't need to only use the terminal with command lines, and you also don't need 00:12.980 --> 00:15.560 to have a monitor plugged to your Raspberry Pi. 00:15.590 --> 00:20.810 Even if you have a monitor, you will see that it may be more convenient to work without it. 00:20.810 --> 00:26.930 And the reason we did all this setup with SSH before is simply because we need to access the Raspberry 00:26.930 --> 00:32.780 Pi through SSH here, so we can type a few command lines to configure and set up VNC. 00:32.810 --> 00:36.710 So here make sure that you are connected to the Raspberry Pi okay. 00:36.740 --> 00:42.650 You can see I have Pi at Raspberry Pi which means that I'm going to type commands inside the Raspberry 00:42.650 --> 00:43.160 Pi. 00:43.160 --> 00:48.770 If you don't have this, go back to the previous video and just note that here I am on the Raspberry 00:48.770 --> 00:48.980 Pi. 00:48.980 --> 00:55.790 If I want to go back to my windows terminal, or if you're on Linux or Mac OS, go back to your previous 00:55.790 --> 00:56.360 terminal. 00:56.360 --> 01:02.570 You can just type exit And you can see now I have lost the connection. 01:02.570 --> 01:04.730 It doesn't mean that the Raspberry Pi is powered off. 01:04.760 --> 01:05.720 Okay, it's still on. 01:05.750 --> 01:07.580 It's just that you lost the connection. 01:07.580 --> 01:13.130 And then with the up arrow, I can go back to running the same command, I press enter. 01:13.160 --> 01:14.930 I need to put the password again. 01:16.460 --> 01:18.710 And you see here, for example, what I did a mistake. 01:18.710 --> 01:21.740 So this is what you would have if you put the wrong password. 01:23.300 --> 01:25.400 And if you put the right password. 01:25.400 --> 01:31.850 So to use VNC we actually need to enable VNC because it's disabled by default. 01:31.850 --> 01:34.490 And to do that we will start a menu. 01:34.520 --> 01:37.100 You can just type sudo like that. 01:37.100 --> 01:41.300 And then raspi dash config. 01:41.300 --> 01:43.280 And you can press tab for auto completion. 01:43.310 --> 01:52.070 Okay so sudo raspi config you press enter and you get to a menu like this that you can navigate with 01:52.070 --> 01:53.900 the arrows of your keyboard. 01:53.900 --> 01:56.000 And we have two things to do here. 01:56.030 --> 01:59.830 The first you will go to Interface options. 01:59.890 --> 02:01.120 So you press enter. 02:01.450 --> 02:03.460 Then you go down to VNC. 02:04.420 --> 02:05.350 Press enter. 02:05.350 --> 02:10.030 And would you like to uh so would you like the VNC server to be enabled. 02:10.060 --> 02:10.810 You're going to go on. 02:10.840 --> 02:11.140 Yes. 02:11.140 --> 02:13.960 Press enter okay. 02:14.500 --> 02:16.510 And you should go back to the menu. 02:16.840 --> 02:19.180 The VNC server is enabled. 02:19.180 --> 02:22.300 You press enter again and you are back to the menu. 02:22.330 --> 02:24.310 Now we're going to do one more step. 02:24.400 --> 02:26.980 You're going to go to System Options. 02:26.980 --> 02:28.000 So that's the first menu here. 02:28.000 --> 02:32.050 You press enter and then you go on boot auto login. 02:32.050 --> 02:34.120 So you should have a menu that looks like this. 02:34.120 --> 02:39.400 And you're going to choose desktop or maybe desktop auto login. 02:39.400 --> 02:44.620 So just in case the default is console, it means the desktop is not going to boot. 02:44.620 --> 02:49.900 So with VNC because we want to get access to the desktop, we want to make sure that the desktop is 02:49.900 --> 02:52.420 enabled and you can choose desktop. 02:52.420 --> 02:55.600 In this case you will have to log in into the desktop. 02:55.630 --> 02:58.420 I'm just going to choose auto login for simplicity. 02:58.420 --> 03:05.800 So when we login actually through VNC to get to the Raspberry Pi OS, we directly arrive to the desktop 03:05.800 --> 03:07.810 and everything is correctly configured. 03:08.170 --> 03:12.340 So I'm going to press enter on this option okay. 03:12.520 --> 03:17.230 We go back to the menu and then I click on the right arrow to go to finish. 03:17.230 --> 03:19.810 And it's going to ask us to reboot. 03:19.810 --> 03:22.240 So I can press yes. 03:23.590 --> 03:26.080 And as you can see we lose the connection. 03:26.080 --> 03:27.130 Why do we lose the connection. 03:27.130 --> 03:29.770 Because well, the Raspberry Pi is rebooting. 03:29.770 --> 03:36.760 If it's rebooting, then of course we lose the SSH connection and we are back to the here to the windows 03:36.760 --> 03:37.480 terminal. 03:37.480 --> 03:41.950 So we just need to wait that the Raspberry Pi is back on the network and then. 03:41.950 --> 03:46.420 Well, we should not need to use the terminal here again. 03:46.420 --> 03:47.890 So I'm going to close that. 03:47.980 --> 03:49.930 I'm going to keep that on the side for later. 03:49.990 --> 03:51.430 And what do we do now. 03:51.430 --> 03:58.050 So the Raspberry Pi should be back on the network with the VNC server enabled. 03:58.050 --> 04:04.770 So what we need is a VNC client so that we can well, we can use a software to use VNC and connect to 04:04.800 --> 04:05.730 the Raspberry Pi. 04:05.760 --> 04:13.170 And to do that I'm going to so you can open a web browser and we're going to use Tiger VNC. 04:13.200 --> 04:18.330 So there are lots of different VNC clients VNC viewers here. 04:18.330 --> 04:19.620 We're going to use Tiger VNC. 04:19.620 --> 04:24.810 So you can just type Tiger VNC in Google and go to Tiger vnc.org. 04:24.870 --> 04:28.890 So they don't have a executable to download here. 04:28.890 --> 04:35.880 But you can go you can see you can go on the GitHub release page and you see that they say that they 04:35.880 --> 04:42.180 have a binaries for Linux, windows and also Mac. 04:42.180 --> 04:44.700 So you click here okay. 04:44.730 --> 04:47.160 And on releases you're going to get to GitHub. 04:47.190 --> 04:48.210 Don't worry about this. 04:48.210 --> 04:49.890 Just get the latest release. 04:50.430 --> 04:52.350 It can be another version than this one. 04:52.350 --> 04:53.130 It's okay. 04:53.310 --> 04:57.450 And then they will give you a link here to SourceForge. 04:57.450 --> 05:03.540 So you click on that link and you go to SourceForge where you can download the latest. 05:03.780 --> 05:06.360 So you can click here on this button for windows. 05:06.360 --> 05:09.420 But if you are on other operating systems you can see you have other versions. 05:09.420 --> 05:11.760 You can choose your operating system. 05:11.850 --> 05:12.180 Okay. 05:12.210 --> 05:14.910 And I'm just going to click here to download. 05:15.390 --> 05:15.900 Okay. 05:15.930 --> 05:18.450 Your download will start shortly. 05:18.450 --> 05:19.920 We just wait for this. 05:19.950 --> 05:21.480 We don't click on anything. 05:24.450 --> 05:24.930 Okay. 05:24.930 --> 05:25.890 And it's downloading. 05:25.890 --> 05:28.830 And then we can install. 05:28.860 --> 05:33.000 So just click on okay. 05:33.750 --> 05:41.370 So somehow my Windows Defender doesn't like this I'm going to click on more info and just run anyway 05:41.400 --> 05:41.550 okay. 05:41.580 --> 05:42.270 If you follow. 05:42.270 --> 05:46.800 So here I'm going to say yes I have a pop up to allow the software to run. 05:46.800 --> 05:50.970 So if you follow the links from the official website of Tigervnc it should be fine. 05:51.000 --> 05:53.750 Okay, don't go to other links than that. 05:53.840 --> 05:56.210 And now we are on the setup. 05:56.210 --> 06:01.700 So next, uh, accept the agreement and you can install it. 06:01.730 --> 06:01.940 Okay. 06:01.940 --> 06:06.380 Next install finish. 06:06.470 --> 06:15.410 And then you can just go to the search bar or press windows key for example, and type Tigervnc and 06:15.410 --> 06:16.610 just launch Tigervnc. 06:16.640 --> 06:18.560 So it's going to be empty like that. 06:19.490 --> 06:20.420 All right. 06:20.840 --> 06:22.580 So here the interface is quite simple. 06:22.580 --> 06:22.880 Here. 06:22.880 --> 06:26.960 You're going to put simply the IP address of the Raspberry Pi. 06:26.990 --> 06:28.820 You have some options. 06:28.820 --> 06:32.870 That might be it might be auto select by default. 06:32.870 --> 06:35.570 But you don't need to change anything on the options for now. 06:35.570 --> 06:37.700 So I'm just going to leave it by default. 06:37.700 --> 06:40.010 And you will put the IP address. 06:40.010 --> 06:47.750 So for me it was 192 dot 168 .203.222. 06:48.170 --> 06:51.810 And here once again it's very important that you are. 06:51.840 --> 06:55.530 So your computer here is on the same network as the Raspberry Pi. 06:55.560 --> 07:00.150 Because once again, if you are not, then you won't be able to find the Pi from your computer. 07:00.150 --> 07:03.720 So once I have put the IP address here, I can click on connect. 07:03.840 --> 07:08.340 And very shortly after you should have something like that. 07:08.340 --> 07:10.500 So certificate etc.. 07:10.530 --> 07:14.010 Do you want to make an exception for this server so you can click on. 07:14.010 --> 07:15.060 Yes. 07:15.180 --> 07:16.080 Okay. 07:16.080 --> 07:19.860 This is just a security warning because we don't have any certificate but it doesn't really matter. 07:19.860 --> 07:21.420 You just click on yes. 07:21.420 --> 07:25.980 And you can see here now we have username and password. 07:25.980 --> 07:30.540 So if you reach that it means that the VNC server is actually working and you could find it. 07:30.540 --> 07:33.480 Now you just need to put username would be pi. 07:33.480 --> 07:37.350 And the password is the same that you put before for SSH. 07:37.350 --> 07:38.670 And it's the one that you have set. 07:38.670 --> 07:43.650 When you flashed the Raspberry Pi OS and click on okay. 07:43.680 --> 07:47.040 And we are on the Raspberry Pi desktop. 07:47.040 --> 07:48.910 So this is what you see here. 07:48.910 --> 07:50.860 This is not my windows computer. 07:50.890 --> 07:53.590 This is the desktop of the Raspberry Pi. 07:53.590 --> 07:55.300 And here just a quick parenthesis. 07:55.300 --> 07:57.400 So here I have selected the. 07:57.430 --> 08:00.160 So the IP address that I have found here okay. 08:00.190 --> 08:03.280 So if you get access to this it's working correctly. 08:03.280 --> 08:07.630 But let's say that in the future you try again with the same IP address. 08:07.870 --> 08:11.800 For example you try tomorrow or in one week and it doesn't work anymore. 08:11.800 --> 08:12.640 Why is that? 08:12.640 --> 08:17.110 Probably because the IP address or the network mask may have changed. 08:17.110 --> 08:23.110 So in this case, I recommend that you just find the IP address of the Raspberry Pi before. 08:23.140 --> 08:23.440 Okay. 08:23.470 --> 08:29.500 So in the case that it works now and that let's say tomorrow it doesn't work anymore, it's probably 08:29.500 --> 08:31.600 because maybe the IP address changed. 08:31.600 --> 08:32.890 It happens for me. 08:32.920 --> 08:35.440 For example, I use my smartphone as a hotspot. 08:35.440 --> 08:42.910 And somehow when I disconnect the hotspot and I create a new one, it gives a different IP address. 08:42.910 --> 08:47.230 So the IP address I have today is not going to be the same as the one I have tomorrow. 08:47.230 --> 08:49.600 So probably is a way to to fix that. 08:49.630 --> 08:51.220 But there's going to be more complex. 08:51.220 --> 08:58.450 But just know that you might have to check the IP address again just in case it works now and it doesn't 08:58.450 --> 08:59.350 work in the future. 08:59.350 --> 09:04.150 But if it doesn't work now, well, you need to go back and make sure that you can connect with SSH. 09:04.180 --> 09:10.690 Make sure that you can access the menu that we just did in this video and that the well, the VNC server 09:10.690 --> 09:14.500 is enabled and that you can download the Tigervnc client. 09:14.890 --> 09:20.260 So if you see the desktop, great, you can now have access to your Raspberry Pi desktop without any 09:20.260 --> 09:21.310 external monitor. 09:21.310 --> 09:27.160 So you can go ahead and jump to the next lesson where we will finish the last configuration steps. 09:27.760 --> 09:31.870 And I'm just adding this small extra troubleshooting parentheses here. 09:31.900 --> 09:32.110 Okay. 09:32.140 --> 09:37.660 To address the issue where you could have at this point not you would not see the desktop, but you 09:37.660 --> 09:40.060 would see a gray screen. 09:40.060 --> 09:44.710 So you could still connect with tigervnc, but you would see a gray screen. 09:44.830 --> 09:51.150 That has happened to me recently when I tried on the Raspberry Pi four, so I don't know if it's due 09:51.150 --> 09:52.020 to Raspberry Pi four. 09:52.050 --> 09:54.300 I could try again here on the Raspberry Pi five. 09:54.330 --> 09:58.680 It works correctly, but anyway, if you have a gray screen, well it means you won't see that. 09:58.680 --> 10:02.280 So probably you just, uh, close tigervnc. 10:02.280 --> 10:05.550 And then what we will do is go back to the terminal. 10:05.940 --> 10:06.240 Okay? 10:06.270 --> 10:08.760 So you should be able to connect with SSH. 10:08.790 --> 10:11.250 We're going to go back here. 10:11.280 --> 10:13.950 So I put the password. 10:14.250 --> 10:17.370 We go back to the Raspberry Pi with SSH. 10:17.370 --> 10:21.210 And we are going to do a sudo apt update okay. 10:21.240 --> 10:25.440 So you write exactly this command sudo apt update. 10:25.440 --> 10:26.970 You press enter. 10:27.540 --> 10:29.040 You might need to put your password. 10:29.040 --> 10:31.920 But here it works okay. 10:32.130 --> 10:34.020 It's going to update the packages. 10:34.020 --> 10:39.780 And then you need to do sudo apt upgrade okay. 10:39.810 --> 10:44.100 So actually update is going to fetch the new packages and upgrade. 10:44.490 --> 10:45.660 is going to update them. 10:45.690 --> 10:48.750 This is something we're going to see a bit later when we talk about Linux. 10:48.750 --> 10:50.820 So you don't really need to worry about this for now. 10:50.820 --> 10:52.950 You just type those comments exactly. 10:52.980 --> 10:54.300 So you upgrade. 10:54.300 --> 10:59.820 This is probably going to show you a lot of packages, and it's going to stop and ask you to validate. 10:59.820 --> 11:02.400 So you just press enter and then you can wait. 11:02.400 --> 11:07.200 So you might wait for 10 or 15 minutes for everything to be updated here. 11:07.200 --> 11:13.620 It shows me zero to upgrade because I have actually already upgraded the system before, but for you 11:13.620 --> 11:17.100 it might take well, like I told you, 10 to 15 minutes depends. 11:17.100 --> 11:19.980 And then after that you can reboot the Raspberry Pi. 11:20.010 --> 11:21.810 How do you reboot the Raspberry Pi? 11:21.810 --> 11:25.020 Well, we're not going to take the cable out and put it again. 11:25.020 --> 11:29.820 Now we can use sudo and then reboot just like that. 11:29.820 --> 11:32.430 So you press enter okay. 11:32.460 --> 11:34.350 You can see the system will reboot now. 11:34.350 --> 11:36.120 And now we lose the connection okay. 11:36.120 --> 11:39.300 Because if you reboot, then while the Raspberry Pi is shut down. 11:39.300 --> 11:43.280 So you lose the connection and then you can go back to Tiger. 11:43.310 --> 11:44.960 So Tiger VNC. 11:47.120 --> 11:48.620 So you should wait a bit. 11:48.650 --> 11:49.280 Okay. 11:49.340 --> 11:50.690 Maybe 30s. 11:50.870 --> 11:52.610 Let's try to connect. 11:53.180 --> 11:53.480 Okay. 11:53.510 --> 11:54.710 We have this again. 11:54.710 --> 11:56.390 So Pi. 11:57.470 --> 11:59.150 And then the password. 11:59.540 --> 12:03.110 And you should be able to get to this. 12:03.140 --> 12:03.590 Okay. 12:03.620 --> 12:08.930 And in the next video I'm going to show you at some point that we update the packages using an icon 12:08.930 --> 12:09.410 here. 12:09.440 --> 12:15.080 Or this icon is not here anymore, simply because we have already done it here previously in the terminal. 12:15.080 --> 12:17.090 And finally, well, if nothing works. 12:17.090 --> 12:23.060 So if you cannot get access to the Raspberry Pi OS desktop, well, there is one extra step that I've 12:23.060 --> 12:26.360 put in this section about Raspberry Pi Connect. 12:26.390 --> 12:28.490 Okay, so check that out with this for sure. 12:28.490 --> 12:34.970 You will be able to get access to the desktop, of course, provided that you can already have access 12:34.970 --> 12:36.890 here with SSH. 12:36.980 --> 12:39.920 Okay, but if nothing works, try with Raspberry Pi Connect. 12:39.920 --> 12:41.930 I have an extra video on this.
