How to install on Raspberry Pi 3 running LibreElec

[mre...@gmail.com]

Hi. I'm new to this, and I'm trying to install TigerVNC on my Raspberry Pi 3 which is running LibreElec. My ultimate goal is to be able to view and control my Raspberry Pi's GUI using my Mac, since I have no standalone monitor.

I followed these instructions but changing the url to what I found on this VNC Releases page. The steps I did were:

1. I connected to my Raspberry Pi via SSH from my Mac
2. Changed directory to ~/.kodi/addons
   
3. wget https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/archive/v1.10.1.zip
4. unzip v1.10.1.zip
5. rm v1.10.1.zip
6. reboot
7. reconnected to my Raspberry Pi via SSH from my Mac
8. typed "vncconfig", got "-sh: vncconfig: not found"
9. typed "vncserver", got "-sh: vncserver: not found"

I wasn't sure exactly which directory the tigervnc-1.10.1 folder should be in, so I copied it into both of these directories: "~/.kodi/addons" and "~/.kodi/addons/packages"

Here's a screenshot showing the tigervnc-1.10.1 directory in each of those directories.

Where do I go from here to be able to run the VNC server from my Raspberry Pi?

Am I supposed to be using a binary from https://bintray.com/tigervnc/stable/tigervnc/1.10.1#files/ ? If so, I really have no idea which one to use for LibreElec.

Unfortunately, we don't have the means to support all linux distributions so we have chosen to supply pre-packaged binaries only for the Enterprise/LTS type distros.  I'm not familiar with LibreElec but if it's based on ubuntu bionic then you *might* be able to install our arm64 debian packages.  Otherwise, your best bet might be to email the LibreElec maintainers and ask them to provide packages.
