Remote assistance is one of the most important things when working remotely. There are many applications for remote desktop login but TeamViewer stands out as one of the most reliable. Learning to install TeamViewer on a Debian 10 system can be quite useful in these times of home working.
TeamViewer is a proprietary tool that allows you to manage computers remotely. It provides a fairly good graphical interface that makes the whole process easier.
On the other hand, TeamViewer takes security very seriously by encrypting all connections. In addition to creating tokens and passwords to prevent possible external attacks.
So, these days you have to know how to install TeamViewer.
Installing TeamViewer on Debian 10
The TeamViewer development team has prepared a fairly complete DEB package that works with Debian 10 without any problems.
So, open a terminal and with the help of the wget command download the DEB package.

When the download is finished, you can do a local installation of the package with APT.

And that’s where the whole installation process begins. Also, some rooms will be added if necessary.
When the installation is finished, you can run it from the main menu or by typing in the terminal:
:~$ teamviewer
Once you start the application, you will have to accept the license terms.
Then, the application will start and automatically assign you a new ID and password.
These will be the credentials that other people will need to have to access your computer remotely.
Now you can enjoy Teamviewer.
