TeamViewer FOR LINUX

TeamViewer is a multi-platform and free project designed for end users and system administrators who are looking for an easy-to-use and efficient solution for remotely controlling computers, as if they were sitting right in front of it.

Key Features:

• Remote administration of unattended servers


• File transfer


• High security standard


• Online status updates


• Remote support without installation


• Remote presentation of products, solutions, and services

We can report that the application works behind firewalls, provides users with browser-based access, it is very competitively priced, features optimized performance, and is available for download as a free version.

Its graphical user interface is quite modern, allowing users to quickly log into their TeamViewer account and connect to TeamViewer servers to help friends, colleagues, or family with different computing tasks.

Technical Specifications:

• Distributed as binary archives in DEB and RPM formats


• Supports Ubuntu, Debian GNU/Linux, Red Hat, SUSE, Fedora, CentOS, and many other RPM/DEB-based Linux distributions


• Cross-platform software supporting Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone


• Available for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures


• Requires Wine for running on Linux

Summing up, TeamViewer is a decent remote control software for Mac OS X, Windows OSes, and supported mobile platforms. On Linux, it may not meet user expectations, especially due to its reliance on Wine. We recommend exploring open-source remote control apps that run natively and support a wider range of GNU/Linux platforms.
