TigerVNC

History

TigerVNC was originally based on the (never-released) VNC 4 branch of TightVNC. More information regarding the motivation for creating this project can be found in the project announcement.

Downloads

The latest release of TigerVNC can be downloaded from our GitHub release page. Besides the source code we also provide self-contained binaries for Linux, installers for Windows and a universal binary for Macs. We also try to provide packages for various distributions when we easily can.

Pre-release builds of the experimental next-generation code can be found here.

TigerVNC is also provided with many distributions, such as Fedora, OpenSUSE, FreeBSD, Arch Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise.
