system over the internet. Teamviewer is known as all in one solution for remote access
& support over the internet. Within only few seconds of time, teamviewer can connect to
any PC or server over the internet.

It also provides a number of features like;

In this tutorial, we will learn to install teamviewer on CentOS 7 & Ubuntu 16.04 . We will
start by installation of teamviewer on Ubuntu.

Installation on Ubuntu 16.04

We will firstly download the .deb package for Ubuntu OS, to download the package open
the terminal & run,
$ wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_i386.deb

Once we have the downloaded package, we can install it using three different methods,
1- Using GUI, double click teamviewer_linux.deb & it will open the package in Ubuntu
Software Center , click on Install & then authenticate by enterting the admnistrative
password. Team Viewer will then be installed on the machine.

2- Using apt-get, firstly move the package to /var/cache/apt/archives & then run
$ sudo apt-get install teamviewer_linux.deb
from the terminal. Enter your administrative password & package will then be installed
on the system.

3-Using dpkg, the third way is by using dpkg. Open the terminal & execute the follwoing
command,
$ dpkg -i teamviewer_linux.deb
Once the teamviewer has been installed using any of the three methods, we can run it
from terminal by typing,
$ teamviewer
or we can also locate in under applications.
Installation on CentOS/RHEL
For CentOS, we will firslty have to install some dependencies before we can actually
install the package for teamviewer. To install dependencies, run

$ yum install glibc alsa-lib freetype libICE libSM libX11 libXau libXdamage libXext

After downloading the package, we can install it using two methods,

1- Using yum, from the terminal run the following command,
