Andy Clark from RealVNC has just guest-blogged<\/a> over at the Raspberry Pi website<\/a>\u00a0about the new version of VNC that is available now for the Raspberry Pi. And it’s available for free from the Raspbian repositories, meaning you can just type in the installation command and get it installed immediately. Called VNC Connect, it is a cloud-based service that allows your Pi to connect to it and then allow you to connect to your Pi, via the service website, from anywhere in the world. You can even play Minecraft Pi Edition remotely!<\/p>\n

You can install it on your Pi by running the following commands<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get update\r\n\r\nsudo apt-get install realvnc-vnc-server realvnc-vnc-viewer<\/pre>\n
Find out how to get set-up over on the RealVNC website<\/a>\u00a0and send then your feedback via\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0or on the forums<\/a>. You will need to register a new account on RealVNC to use the service<\/a>.<\/p>\n
