Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Installation TeamViewer Remote Assistance software

Ubuntu 16.04 lts installation TeamViewer

First, open the TeamViewer download page and download the Debian/ubuntu Deb installer package.

This is a 32-bit deb bag. Older releases such as Debian 6/ubuntu 10 can download 64-bit Deb packages because they do not have multiarch multiple-architecture features. For Ubuntu 16.04, we have to download the 32-bit Deb package because Ubuntu 16.04 has a multiple architecture feature, and even the 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 System installs 32-bit Deb packages.

When the download is complete, open a terminal window to switch directories (CDS) to the download directory.

The 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 system needs to add 32-bit schema support, as shown in the following command.

sudo dpkg--add-architecture i386

sudo apt-get update

Now, install the TeamViewer dependency pack.

sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-3:i386 libasound2:i386 libexpat1:i386 libfontconfig1:i386 libfreetype6:i386: i386 libpng12-0:i386 libsm6:i386 libxdamage1:i386 libxext6:i386 libxfixes3:i386 libxinerama1:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libxrender1:i386 libxtst6:i386 zlib1g:i386 libc6:i386

Install TeamViewer again.

sudo dpkg-i teamviewer*.deb

Once the installation is complete, the TeamViewer can be launched from the Unity Dash menu. We can also enter the following command to start TeamViewer.
