    With VNC server running on your Pi the next step is to install VNC client on your laptop.

    Secure shell (ssh) to the RPi, More Geek than VNC
     
    Secure shell (ssh):

    Mac users have ssh built in.  After opening a terminal ssh syntax looks like this;

    ssh pi@144.167.236.432

    Windows users:

    For ssh, install the ssh client you prefer.  Here are some examples of ssh clients for windows;

    MobaXterm

    PuTTY
