By default PulseHeberg only offers server versions of its operating systems, but you can still easily turn a server into a Desktop version.

  1. Connect to your VPS over SSH using an SSH client such as Putty on Windows, or from a terminal on Linux or MacOS.
  2. Once connected, update your server: sudo apt update && apt upgrade -y
  3. When your server is up to date, you can move on to installing Ubuntu Desktop: sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop -y The Ubuntu Desktop installation takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending on how powerful your server is.
  4. Once the installation is complete, simply restart your server and connect to your server's VNC or KVM console
  5. Follow the graphical interface setup instructions: keyboard type, time zone, as well as your user's username and password.
  6. You then have access to your server's Ubuntu Desktop
