How To Install TeamViewer on Fedora 36

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install TeamViewer on Fedora 36. For those of you who didn’t know, TeamViewer allows a user to access someone else’s computer remotely using the internet in just a few seconds. It is an all-in-one solution for remote support which can be used for desktop sharing, online meetings, and file transfer between devices connected over the Internet. TeamViewer is available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android operating systems.

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 the TeamViewer remote desktop application on a Fedora 36.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 36.
• 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).
• 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.

Install TeamViewer on Fedora 36

Step 1. Before proceeding, update your Fedora operating system to make sure all existing packages are up to date. Use this command to update the server packages:

sudo dnf upgrade
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core

Step 2. Installing TeamViewer on Fedora 36.

• Install TeamViewer using the official repository.

By default, the TeamViewer package does not come in the default repository of Fedora 36. Now run the following command below to add the TeamViewer repository to your Fedora system:

sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/teamviewer.repo<<EOF
[teamviewer]
name=TeamViewer - $basearch
baseurl=https://linux.teamviewer.com/yum/stable/main/binary-$basearch/
gpgkey=https://linux.teamviewer.com/pubkey/currentkey.asc
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
type=rpm-md
EOF

After the repository was added, now install the latest version of TeamViewer using the below command:

sudo dnf install teamviewer

• Install TeamViewer using rpm.

Now we download the latest version of the TeamViewer package from the official website using the wget command:

https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer.x86_64.rpm

After the package is downloaded, Install TeamViewer on Fedora by running the command below:

sudo dnf install ./teamviewer.x86_64.rpm

Once the TeamViewer installation is complete, you can start the Brave browser by typing brave in the terminal or going to Activities -> search for TeamViewer.
