Setting up the VNC server as a system service is not necessary, but will make it automatically start after boot, if its something you will use often (such as your main method of control for your Pi). You will be asked if you want a viewer-only password, just say no.You will be asked to input the password a second time to verify it.

The password will automatically be truncated (shortened) to 8 characters in length.

Since this is the initial start, you will be asked to provide a password.

Use the below command to start the VNC server for initial setup. Tell the system to install the TightVNC server package. To learn more about updating and upgrading Raspbian, including to the latest version of Raspbian, check out our post about how to Updating Raspbian. Tell the system to check for the newest available package versions and upgrade to them, while automatically confirming all user prompts. This helps to ensure we’re not running or installing any outdated software and that the system has the latest information about what new software packages are available, if we happen to need any. To start, as always, it’s good practice to make sure the system is completely up-to-date before we begin or install any new software.
