If you are running Windows download vncviewer-1.4.3.exe (or vncviewer64-1.4.3.exe if you have a 64 bit machine). Opening this .exe file will not install anything. It is the program you will use to access the Quarknet network. Move it from your downloads folder to your Desktop, so you can access it quickly.
If you are running a Mac, download TigerVNC-1.4.3.dmg . Open the .dmg file, and in the folder find TigerVNC Viewer 1.4.3. Drag this into your Applications folder. This is the file you will use to access the Quarknet network.
