Install TeamViewer on Debian 10

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install TeamViewer on Debian 10 Buster. For those of you who didn’t know, TeamViewer is a proprietary computer software package for remote control, desktop sharing, online meetings, web conferencing, and file transfer between computers. Versions are available for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Desktop Linux, iOS, Android, Linux, and many more. It is also possible to access a machine running TeamViewer with a web browser. While the main focus of the application is the remote control of computers, collaboration and presentation features are included.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of TeamViewer on a Debian 10 (Buster) server.

Prerequisites

  • A server running one of the following operating systems: Debian 10 (Buster).
  • It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
  • SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
  • An active internet connection.
  • A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.
