How do I install TeamViewer on my Linux distribution?

TeamViewer is a proprietary computer software package for remote control, desktop sharing, online meetings, web conferencing and file transfer between computers. The software operates with the Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, iOS, Android, Windows RT and Windows Phone operating systems.

Teamviewer works on Ubuntu too. download for the 32 bit version or the 64 bit version  from http://www.teamviewer.com/. So if you like that as remote desktop software you can still use it. You can also see page TeamViewer 6.x, 5.x, 4.x, 3.x, 2.x and 1.x (a download page).  Get the .DEB file from there and install it with sudo dpkg -i <filename.deb>   Give the password, and it will install.  Using wine: Although they made a "deb" installable package, it seems not to work if you don't have wine installed. 1) Install Wine. 2) Go to their website and download the installer for your computer archicteture (32 or 64 bits). 3) Make the downloaded file executable. Then double click it. If you are feeling lazy, just paste this at terminal and I will do all above for you: sudo apt-get install wine ; rm -R /tmp/teaminstall/ ;  mkdir /tmp/teaminstall/ && cd /tmp/teaminstall/ && p=$(uname -p) && if [ $p = "x86_64" ] ;  then wget -c http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux_x64.deb ;  else wget -c http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb ; fi ;  chmod +x /tmp/teaminstall/teamviewer_linux* && sudo /tmp/teaminstall/teamviewer_linux*
