RealVNC is installed on the latest image of Raspbian Jessie with PIXEL. If you have not recently downloaded and installed the latest version then you can update Jessie following instructions found here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/introducing-pixel/

The RVNC server must be enabled using the RPi config utility in [Menu] --> [Preferences] or by the sudo raspi-config utility.
Do the above on the remote RPi only then reboot.

On the local RPi run VNC Viewer found in [Menu] --> [Internet]
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.

Some other docs I read online said to go to
Menu > Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration > Interfaces. Ensure VNC is Enabled
to enable the vnc. This path does not exist on my pi.

If the option does not appear in the GUI configuration or in sudo raspi-config, then you have not updated to the latest Raspbian Jessie with Pixel.
