TeamViewer in Ubuntu – How it Works

By Imran Yousaf

TeamViewer is a cross-platform software solution for remote access to a computer. Since TeamViewer 13, the tool dispenses with the emulation layer Wine and now runs natively on Ubuntu. The proprietary software is free for home users and allows Windows to control macOS, iOS, Android and even Linux remotely. Learn how to install and start TeamViewer on Ubuntu in our tips + tricks.

How to install and start TeamViewer in Ubuntu

Follow our step-by-step guide.

Step 1:

Open the terminal either with the key combination [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [T] or click on the corresponding icon. Now enter the following command with wget :
wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer_amd64.deb
This automatically loads the latest version of TeamViewer for Ubuntu.

Note: If you do not have a 64-bit system, change the version according to the teamviewer.com page.

2nd Step:

The package manager apt can be used to install the .deb package. Required dependencies to other packages are automatically installed. Simply enter the following command:
sudo apt install ./teamviewer_amd64.deb
When prompted, enter your password and press [Enter]. And at ” Do you want to continue? [Y / n] “, enter ” Y ” to continue the installation. TeamViewer and its packages will now be installed automatically.
