Simple script to help launch VNC Viewer and connect to OMG's cloud host on a variety of OSs

###OSX/Linux In a terminal, enter the following:

git clone https://github.com/troydaniels/run-vnc.git
cd run-vnc
chmod 777 runVNC.sh
mv runVNC.sh ~/Desktop/Launch\ VNC
cd ..
rm run-vnc

This will create a file called Launch VNC on your Desktop. Right click on this file, select Open With, and click on terminal. Opening this file should then launch VNC Viewer, with a connection to the correct host.

If you have installed vncserver you can use the command vncpasswd in a *NIX terminal to generate a hashed password file and negate the need to manually enter a password everytime this is launched. For security purposes, this file is not in this repository. A file generated by vncpasswd can be shared amongst the team to allow quicker login.

note For OSX, we need to add the location of vncviewer to our PATH. Adding a symlink to /usr/local/bin does not work unfortunately, as vncviewer complains about a missing EULA. So, I found this to be the easiest (athough not ideal) solution. In a terminal

sudo nano /etc/paths

add /Applications/VNC Viewer.app/Contents/MacOS to a new line end of this file and save & exit (ctr+x).

###Windows Download a zip of this repository, unzip it, and move runVNC_win.cmd to the Desktop.

Double click this file to launch. Feel free to rename it. Similarly to the above, generating a password hash with vncpasswd should allow you to launch the VM without having to manually enter a password.
