The process involves two steps:

Download the needed files from here or any other location.

Then make file executable with:
```
chmod +x VNC-Viewer-6.0.2-Linux-x64
```

Then move it to say your home directory and run it from there, or any other location:
```
mv VNC-Viewer-6.0.2-Linux-x64 ~/



./VNC-Viewer-6.0.2-Linux-x64
```

Note: You don't install you just run it.
