Enabling Camera and VNC viewer in Raspberry

Some of you might be wondering why I am enabling Camera and VNC viewer in my raspberry pi 4B . I need camera to take pictures from my pi cam which is equipped to Pi board and VNC viewer to upload and run the python files my friends created.

Similary for VNC.
