noVNC is installed and it will start by default, if your pi is wired to your network, once you find your raspberry pi IP, connect to it through your browser typing http://RASPBERRY_IP:8000/vnc.html otherwise, if you are connected to the hotspot, type http://10.42.0.1:8000/vnc.html, you won't be prompted by any password!
