Oh?   Your original post said:
i get an error message "~/.vnc: No such file or directory"

and the manual page has:
FILES
       Several VNC-related files are found in the directory $HOME/.vnc:

When I installed vncserver I also found it didn't start so, after reading
the man page, I did 'mkdir .vnc' in my home directory.  When I started
the server again, it created the required files, which require editing
to get it working the way you want.

Some things you have to do yourself.  I don't believe many, if any,
packages create your $HOME config files.
