How to setup a Linux VPS to run traffic exchange without problems and access it from Windows 2016

Hi there , after seeing a lot of people having trouble starting with the vps I have decided to basically make a step by step tutorial in which we install a desktop environment for a ubuntu vps , we install chromium , firefox and flash in order to run any te without problems.
So you can install multiple desktop environments but kubuntu and lubuntu are the most lightweight, for this tutorial I am installing kubuntu because I feel it is more complete than lubuntu even though lubuntu is a bit more loghtweight.
The first thin we need to do is to download putty http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html , a software that helps us manage our vps.

Now that we have putty we can connect to our vps , when you first created your vps the hoster sent an email with the ip adress of the vps and the root password also some hosters offer this info on the dashboard of the site so look it up cause you'll need it.First open putty and enter the vps ip adress


After you enter the ip adress and click open you should get this screen


After you log in you wait until the screen looks like this


then you type sudo apt-get update
if you're using ubuntu 14.04 on some hoster the sudo command doesn't work so you need to type all the commands without sudo in front of them , so if that's the case for you ,you just type apt-get update


When it finishes we proceed to installing the desktop environment , in this case I use kubuntu but if you want a simple ubuntu desktop just type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (The ubuntu desktop comes preinstalled with firefox so it is a bit easier for newbies)


This should take anywhere from 5 min to an hour depending on the vps internet speed just be patient. During the installation you might be asked to choose the language and region like this


When it finishes you're almost done.
Now we need to install xrdp this is the software which let's us connect to the vps.


When it finishes we need to register a user and password for the account that is accesing the vps.


Now the password on this step be careful to no hit enter too fast because you need to agree with the authenticity of the details.


With this out of the way we can proceed to setting up the windows connection. For this go to the start menu and search Remote Desktop Connection. Open it and you should get something like this , fill in the ip adress and the username you just created , and save as ( what name you want , wherever you want to save so you can acces it without typing the ip and ussername every time)


Now you can click connect and you will go to a screen like this one , where you type the password you just made for xrdp a few stages back.


Type the password click ok and you will log in to the os


Now to install firefox , chromium and flash plugin use theese commands back in putty, one at a time:
sudo apt-get install firefox


sudo apt-get install chromium-browser


sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer



And that's all there is to it , now you can acces your vps from you windows machine and run both firefox and chromium without any issues because flash is also installed on firefox. I hope this tutorial was helpful. Cheers
P.S. If your vps is a bit slow try apt-get install lxde-core instead of kubuntu , this is a very lightweight desktop environment which uses about 35mb RAM.
