See more screenshots
<a href="http://novnc.github.com/noVNC/screenshots.html">here</a>.
### Browser Requirements
* Chrome 8, Firefox 4, Safari 6, Opera 12, IE 11, Edge 12, etc.
* HTML5 Canvas, WebSockets and Typed Arrays
* Fast Javascript Engine: this is not strictly a requirement, but without a
fast Javascript engine, noVNC might be painfully slow.
* See the more detailed
[browser compatibility wiki page](https://github.com/novnc/noVNC/wiki/Browser-support).
### Server Requirements
Unless you are using a VNC server with support for WebSockets connections (such
as [x11vnc/libvncserver](http://libvncserver.sourceforge.net/),
[QEMU](http://www.qemu.org/), or
[PocketVNC](http://www.pocketvnc.com/blog/?page_id=866)), you need to use a
WebSockets to TCP socket proxy. There is a python proxy included
('websockify').
### Quick Start
* Use the launch script to start a mini-webserver and the WebSockets proxy
(websockify). The `--vnc` option is used to specify the location of a running
VNC server:
`./utils/launch.sh --vnc localhost:5901`
* Point your browser to the cut-and-paste URL that is output by the launch
script. Enter a password if the VNC server has one configured. Hit the
Connect button and enjoy!
