Performing a VNC Installation
The [application]*Anaconda* installation program offers two modes for VNC installation: _Direct mode_ and _Connect mode_. The modes differ in the way the connection between the server and viewer is established. After you successfully connect, the installation will progress the same way regardless of the mode you used.
Direct Mode
In this mode, [application]*Anaconda* is configured to start the installation and wait for an incoming connection from VNC viewer before proceeding. While waiting for an incoming connection, the system's IP address and the port on which the installer expects the connection is displayed on the display or console if available; this implies that you need at least a serial console to connect using this mode, but you can work around this limitation if you know the default VNC port and the system's IP address.
Connect Mode
In this mode, the VNC viewer is started on the remote system in _listening mode_. The VNC viewer waits for an incoming connection on a specified port. Then, [application]*Anaconda* is started and the host name/IP address and port number of the viewer are provided using a boot option or a Kickstart command. When the installation begins, the installation program establishes a connection with the listening VNC viewer using the specified host name/IP address and port number. Connect mode is therefore easier to use on systems with no local display or console, but it also may require additional preparation, because the viewer system must be able to accept incoming connections on the specified port, which usually requires changing firewall settings.
Choosing a VNC Installation Mode
Visual and Interactive access to the system
If visual and interactive access to the system being installed is not available, then you should use Connect Mode.
Network Connection Rules and Firewalls
If the system being installed is not allowed inbound connections by a firewall, then you must use Connect Mode or disable the firewall. Disabling a firewall may have security implications.
If the remote system running the VNC viewer is not allowed incoming connections by a firewall, then you must use Direct Mode, or disable the firewall. Disabling a firewall may have security implications.
Installing in VNC Direct Mode
VNC Direct Mode is when the VNC viewer initiates a connection to the system being installed. [application]*Anaconda* will tell you when to initiate this connection.
Starting VNC in Direct Mode
Open the VNC viewer (for example, [application]*TigerVNC*) on the workstation you will be using to connect to the system being installed. A window similar to xref:VNC_Installations.adoc#figu-vnc-installations-connection-details[TigerVNC Connection Details] will be displayed with an input field allowing you to specify an IP address.

Boot the installation system and wait for the boot menu to appear. In the menu, edit boot options (see xref:install/Booting_the_Installation.adoc#sect-boot-menu[The Boot Menu]) and append the [option]#inst.vnc# option to the end of the command line.
Optionally, if you want to restrict VNC access to the installation system, add the [option]#inst.vncpassword=pass:attributes[{blank}]_PASSWORD_pass:attributes[{blank}]# boot option as well. Replace _PASSWORD_ with the password you want to use for the installation. The VNC password must be between 6 and 8 characters long.
Use a temporary password for the [option]#inst.vncpassword=# option. It should not be a real or root password you use on any system.
Adding VNC Boot Options
Editing boot options to activate VNC

Start the installation using the edited options. The system will initialize the installation program and start the necessary services. When the system is ready, you will see a message on the screen similar to the following:
`13:14:47 Please manually connect your VNC viewer to 192.168.100.131:5901 to begin the install.`
Note the IP address and port number (in the above example, `192.168.100.131:5901`).
On the system running the VNC Viewer, enter the IP address and port number obtained in the previous step into the `Connection Details` dialog in the same format as it was displayed on the screen by the installer. Then, click `Connect`. The VNC viewer will now connect to the installation system. If you set up a VNC password, enter it when prompted and press `OK`.
When the connection is successfully established, a new window will open on the system running the VNC viewer, displaying the installation menu. This window will provide full remote access to the installer until the installation finishes and the system reboots for the first time.
You can then proceed with xref:install/Installing_Using_Anaconda.adoc#chap-installing-using-anaconda[Installing Using Anaconda].
