Installation Error on Ubuntu 17.04

[luca72]

Hi, I'm trying to install teamviewer on ubuntu 17.04.

To do that I've downloaded teamviewer_12.0.76279_i386.deb, I launch it but when I click on install button nothing happen.

So by command line I've tried the following command:

apt install /teamviewer_12.0.76279_i386.deb

But the result was an error: unsupported file given on command line

What's wrong??

Dear luca72,

Thank you for your post.

Please use the following commands to install TeamViewer on your system

Assuming you are in the working directory where the TeamViewer download is run the following commands.

sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_12.0.76279_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install -fy

Hope this solution works for you.

If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to reply.

Best regards,

Christian

Dear Christian,

Apologies for the delay. Attached is the screnshot.

While running the first command, I got this, "Errors were encountered while processing:
 teamviewer:i386". And while running the second I got,  "Unpacking libpng12-0:i386 (1.2.54-1ubuntu1) over (1.2.50-2+deb8u3) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack):
