Install using your distro’s recommended tool The focus on this post is just how to install TeamViewer on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and related distributions, and keep it updated. Note: I do not look at reasons why you may want to use TeamViewer versus any alternative (there are plenty of articles that compare the tool, so give it a Google). You can follow the same steps to install TeamViewer on Linux Mint, Zorin OS, and pretty much ant other Ubuntu-based Linux distribution out there. In this post I show you how to install Team Viewer on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and above. While this tool’s core feature set is skewed more towards IT professionals, support agents, and developers it is free to use for personal use (and ideal for helping a frustrated relative). TeamViewer is also simple to use: you install the app on both computers, then connect using the unique ID and password the app generates.

You can use TeamViewer to transfer files to/from a remote computer and host chat in real time with its users sync clipboard contents, and more. TeamViewer is an application that lets you access other computers remotely so you can modify, maintain, or manage them wherever you are, as though you were actually there.īetter yet, the app works with all major platforms: Windows, macOS, and Linux (also in limited forms on iOS and Android too).
