However, if students need to connect to using a GUI remote desktop, the instructor may need to **enable remote desktop** for the lab. Also, the instructor must install the appropriate desktop environment and service on the VMs. For details, see [Enable remote desktop for Linux virtual machines](how-to-enable-remote-desktop-linux.md).

## Connect to the student VM using GUI remote desktop

The instructor may choose to configure VMs so that students can also connect using a GUI remote desktop. In this case, students need to find out from their instructor whether to connect to their VMs using the **Microsoft Remote Desktop (RDP)** or **X2Go** client application. Both of these applications allow a student to connect remotely to their VM and display the Linux graphical desktop on their local computer.
