Okay , so finally i got logged in using noMachine,  
the thing is it’s a virtual machine on Azure, and whwnever i try to open Slicer its fails to start.  
Please suggest me a cloud machine requirement and configuration needed to run slice.

Thank you, and waiting for your replay @lassoan🙂

VNC and TeamViewer works, too. You need a virtual machine that supports OpenGL 3.2 to run Slicer. If that’s an issue and hardware-accelerated fast rendering is not needed, then you should be able to build a custom 3D Slicer that uses software OpenGL renderer.
