I want to have a VNC access with my linux ubuntu server 16.04 LTS dedicated machine but I don't want to install any xfce, gnome or any kind of graphic interface(no desktop, no gui) I just want to have a VNC access looking on a terminal.
I want something exactly like this and how can this be possible? https://www.screencast.com/t/enlMYGVYH6nG
I have already tried this:
https://lxtreme.nl/blog/headless-x11/
but I got an error:

use plain old SSH to access your server. no need to bloat your server with unneeded VNC library just to get a terminal

What executables that start with "X" are available on your system? In your software repos?
