If you are not a regular user of TeamViewer then we can run it from portable USB Drive or internal hard disk on Ubuntu Linux without installing using the graphical user interface or command line terminal.
TeamViewer is a very familiar software that most of have used at some point of time to connect remote desktop or laptop. It is very useful in the tech industry to provide support to customers, if on-site help wouldn’t possible or the problem can be resolved remotely. Apart from a remote maintenance software, Teamviewer also comes with remote screen sharing, video conferences, chats, and VoIP phone calls facilities to carry out under Windows, Linux, and macOS.
However, here we are going to talk about the TeamViewer portable version for Linux systems such as Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Linux Mint, RedHat and more… The developers of this software provide a compressed file in the TAR format that can easily be extracted and placed in either PenDrive or system’s hard disk. This helps in using the Temaviewer on Linux but without installing it actually on the PC or laptop.
