I'm trying to install TeamViewer by going to their website and downloading the latest version. However, when I open a terminal, navigate to the folder, and enter 

sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_13.0.6634_amd64.deb

I get a message that certain dependencies are missing, including qtdeclarative5-qtquick2-plugin. I then installed that, re-ran the install, and there are many other missing dependencies, so I try to just run 

sudo apt install qtdeclarative5-*

and this tells me that several dependencies from qml are needed, so I run

sudo apt install qml-module-*

and this again tells me I first need other missing dependencies, and at this point I feel like I am in an endless maze. Is there any efficient way of getting the dependencies that I need? Or am I supposed to be doing something completely different to install TeamViewer? I'm running Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon.

  • using qtdeclarative5-* not really the best practice. It may be not a endless maze. Try installing all the missing dependencies – Gayan Weerakutti Dec 27 '17 at 02:31

Why not use VNC?

This is a question more relevant for ServerFault, Stack Overflow's sister site for IT.

  • Is this still more relevant even if I'm using a laptop and not a server? Something tells me at a place like that they'll assume I know the first thing about servers, which I don't. – Addem Dec 26 '17 at 22:37
  • Still relevant. You are already working with Debian so most answers shouldn't be too hard. – Wolf Dec 26 '17 at 22:45
  • Because my mac is behind firewall, how you will achieve this vnc? You install TeamViewer and it just works, no DynDNS, or other dances with dun drum... – holms Apr 21 '18 at 02:31
