Installing realvnc on Linux
Hi,

I'm running Oracle Linux 7 - 64 bit (PRODUCT_VERSION=7.2). I'm currently using RealVNC 5.3.0.
I've upgraded this several times, put the instructions in notepad...I can't find them.

I've downloaded RealVNC 5.3.1 and want to upgrade from 5.3.0 to 5.3.1. Since oracle Linux is very
similar to red hat, I have the VNC-Server-5.3.1-Linux-x64.rpm file.

how do I install this?
Thanks James

Did you try
Code:
rpm -Uvh VNC-Server-5.3.1-Linux-x64.rpm

?
As with all system changes, ensure you have a system backup.

I had two issues, the first...I was not logged on as root..I know I did, but obviously not. So, as root I tried again...
Code:
rpm -Uvh VNC-Server-5.3.1-Linux-x64.rpm

said it was already installed. 5.3.0 was but not 5.3.1, so I used
Code:
 rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs VNC-Server-5.3.1-Linux-x64.rpm

this worked.
