Hi,

I downloaded the TAR version, then extracted all files, but didn't manage to launch TeamViewer.

I'm sure I made a mistake but which one ?

Please find below a screenshot of my problem. My Linux is Debian 10.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards.

Hello @DenisBM ,

Welcome to the TeamViewer Community! 🎉

When you did the installation, did you follow the steps in the article below?

https://community.teamviewer.com/English/kb/articles/30664-use-the-tar-package-for-linux

If not, could you attempt to uninstall and install it again?

Let me know how it goes, and if you need further help 😄

Best,

Carol 👩🏻‍🦰🌷

Thanks for your answer.

Yes that's the article I had found.

But I just want to "Run without installation".

So "If all dependencies are satisfied, you can just run ./teamviewer in the directory where you extracted the TAR package. Of course, you can also just click on it in a file browser. TeamViewer will not create or change files outside the directory where you extracted it. If you remove that directory, no traces are left."

I read the "📌Note: Always run TeamViewer inside of your desktop environment (e.g. Gnome, KDE) or it will not find a display to show the TeamViewer window." and the "📌Note: Always run it with the current user. In other words, do not invoke it with sudo or as root. It will not work and might change file permissions. If you did, you can fix it by extracting a new, pristine copy from the TAR file.", but I think this is the case.

What other informations should I give to you, so that you could figure out what can happen ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello @DenisBM , 😃

Thanks for the additional information!

In the article Install older TeamViewer versions on Linux I found the following information:

tv-setup checklibs

👉 Could you try running the command line above to locate the necessary libraries that need to be installed?

Let me know if it works 🍀🤞
