Hi QBQ_RPi,
the illegal instruction thing makes me wonder if you managed to install the normal TeamViewer package, which is Wine-based and of course only meant to be installed on Intel machines.
So, using the host package is the right way to go! Make sure to pick the arm download (although the installer should make it hard for you to install the wrong package). Have a look here: Linux Host downloads
EDIT: Actually, now I spotted it: You tried to install on a first-gen Raspberry Pi, but you need a Pi 2 or Pi 3. The TeamViewer package required the armv7 instruction set. Also, the performance on a first-gen Pi would be pretty bad...
P.S.: You don't need to go to a certain directory to run the teamviewer command!

Due to the lack of any help with this problem, I have now purchased a new RPi and am trying to run the Host version. See another posting for problems with lack of persistent ID and password with this new solution. At least the host version installs and runs (once per boot session, anyway).

I'm seeing this behavior on a Pi Zero, as well.

Would be nice if the Pi Zero will be supported as well.
