Installing TeamViewer to the Raspberry Piġ. Equipmentīelow is all the equipment that you will need for setting up TeamViewer on your Raspberry Pi. For pure terminal sharing you can use something like tmate. There are other methods of connecting to your Raspberry Pi remotely such as using VNC server. This means that the TeamViewer software should work for the vast majority of people unless you are running a now somewhat outdated version of the Raspberry Pi. To install TeamViewer on the Raspberry Pi, you will have to be utilizing a Raspberry Pi 2 or newer running Raspbian Jessie or newer. You can not use TeamViewer on your Raspberry Pi to connect to other TeamViewer clients, but others can connect to it. Unlike standard versions of TeamViewer, it is purely designed to receive connections and act as a server.

The version of TeamViewer that we will be installing to the Raspberry Pi is called TeamViewer Host. It is heavily used by support teams as it can make diagnosing and fixing problems a lot easier. For those who do not know what TeamViewer is, it is proprietary software that is hugely popular for sharing desktops as well as giving others remote access to the device.
