How to install TeamView Host for Raspberry Pi 3?

I want to install TeamView Host on Raspberry Pi 3 (Debian 8, ARM, 32-bit), but I meet some problems.

The manual shows that:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu…

For modern DEB-systems (32/64-bit) you need the teamviewer_i386.deb package.

For installing TeamViewer, we recommend using the graphical installer, as described above.

Installation via command line

If you prefer to use the command line, or if there is no graphical installer available, you can use one of these commands as an administrator:

apt install teamviewer_12.0.xxxxx_i386.deb

Older systems (Ubuntu 14.04, Debian 7 and below)

Run this command:

dpkg -i teamviewer_12.0.xxxxx_i386.deb

In case dpkg indicates missing dependencies, complete the installation by executing the following command:

apt-get install -f

Older 64-bit DEB-systems without Multiarch (Ubuntu 12.03, Debian 6 and below)

Download the teamviewer_amd64.deb package.

To install, use dpkg and apt-get as described above.

Notes on Multiarch: On newer 64-bit DEB-systems with Multiarch-support (Debian 7), teamviewer_linux_x64.deb cannot be installed because the package ia32-libs is not available anymore on these systems. In this case you can use teamviewer_12.0.xxxxx_i386.deb instead.

In case you get the error “wrong architecture i386” you have to execute the following command lines as an administrator:

dpkg --add-architecture i386

apt-get update

Download latest TeamViewer Host:

sudo wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer-host_armhf.deb

Install:

sudo dpkg -i teamviewer-host_armhf.deb

After the install fails run:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

Thanks for posting about doing the qt5-default install! I have a recent pi 3B+ and could not get teamviewer-host 14 installed, but after installing qt5-default, BAM, installed without any further issue.

@keziah, @zzc_actual, I don't know what you have done to your systems, but generally speaking all those dependencies should be resolvable without any problems on Debian 8 / Raspbian 8.

@zzc_actual you might follow keziah's way and try to install Qt manually. The output should tell you what's wrong.

Best regards,

Daniel

Hey, I ran into this issue too. After running

> dpkg -i teamviewer-host_armhf.deb

I hit the issue you described with dependencies.
I managed to get through the install by doing the following:

> sudo apt install qt5-default

This returned:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Following the error on the screen, I did the following:
> apt --fix-broken install

This allowed me to get all the dependencies, and then I was able to run the dkpg -i on the .deb again, and it installed successfully.

I don't know for sure that the qt5-default attempt was necessary, but those are the steps I used. I hope this helps someone!

zzc_actual

Could you provide the static compilation version of TeamViewer Host (with all dependence in) for Linux to solve this problem?

zzc_actual

I got it!

TeamViewer Host depends on some package of qt, and my Raspberry Pi 3 fails to install them because of some serious dependence problems. So it is impossiple for me to install TeamViewer Host on Raspberry Pi 3.
