3. On the reMarkable itself you need to install [rM-vnc-server][vnc] and its dependency [mxc_epdc_fb_damage](https://github.com/peter-sa/mxc_epdc_fb_damage).
Instructions can be found in the [wiki](https://github.com/bordaigorl/rmview/wiki/How-to-run-the-VNC-based-version).
This last step will be automated in the near future.
the optional `config` parameter is the filename of a json configuration file.
If the parameter is not found, the program will look for a `rmview.json` file in the current directory, or, if not found, for the path stored in the environment variable `RMVIEW_CONF`.
If none are found, or if the configuration is underspecified, the tool is going to prompt for address/password.
| `insecure_auto_add_host` | ignores the check on the fingerprint | default: `false` |
:warning: **Connecting after an update:**
An update to the reMarkable tablet would change its "fingerprint" i.e. the identifier that signals we are connecting to the expected device (and not somebody impersonating it).
When this happens you may get an error message upon connection.
There are two main ways to fix this:
1. Change your `.known_hosts` file to match the new fingerprint (you can get instructions by connecting manually via ssh).
2. Set the `insecure_auto_add_host` setting to `true`, which will make rmview ignore the check.
This is not recommended unless you are in a trusted network.
:warning: **Key format error:**
If you get an error when connect using a key, but the key seems ok when connecting manually with ssh, you probably need to convert the key to the PEM format (or re-generate it using the `-m PEM` option of `ssh-keygen`). See [here](https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/issues/340#issuecomment-492448662) for details.
