How To Install TeamViewer on Debian 8
Many people experienced dependency problem when installing TeamViewer on Linux. In this tutorial, I will explain how to properly install TeamViewer on Debian 8 Jessie 64 bit version.
Install TeamViewer on Debian 8 64 bit
Go to teamviewer.com and download the 32 bit deb package. (There are no 64 bit deb package.)
Once downloaded, open a terminal window and cd into the download folder. Then issue the following command to enable i386 architecture.
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update
After that, install needed libraries.
sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-3:i386 libasound2:i386 libexpat1:i386 libfontconfig1:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libjpeg62:i386 libpng12-0:i386 libsm6:i386 libxdamage1:i386 libxext6:i386 libxfixes3:i386 libxinerama1:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libxrender1:i386 libxtst6:i386 zlib1g:i386 libc6:i386
Now install teamviewer.
sudo dpkg -i teamviewer*.deb

These instructions don’t work for me, i’m afraid, and the mess they leave is very great. At the last step, when i try to install teamviewer, i get
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of teamviewer:
teamviewer depends on lib32asound2; however:
Package lib32asound2 is not installed.
teamviewer depends on ia32-libs; however:
Package ia32-libs is not installed.
and trying to install these leads to a complete mess.
worked for me. thank you
