The process involves two steps:




  1. Download the needed files from here or any other location.



  2. Then make file executable with:



    chmod +x VNC-Viewer-6.0.2-Linux-x64



  3. 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.
