How can I install Anydesk desktop?
Through GUI:
go to https://anydesk.com/platforms
select your os-compatibility version and install through ubuntu-software-center.
Through CLI:
sudo dpkg -i anydesk_2.9.4-1_amd64.deb
Install AnyDesk via Ubuntu software center. (Simply open your 'Downloads' folder, right click on
anydesk_2.9.4-1_amd64.deb
choose Open With Software Install. Enter your password when it prompted then wait for the AnyDesk installation process to complete.)
Better use their repository as suggested here:
obtain root priviledges
sudo su
add repository key to Trusted software providers list
wget -qO - https://keys.anydesk.com/repos/DEB-GPG-KEY | apt-key add -
add the repository:
echo "deb http://deb.anydesk.com/ all main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/anydesk-stable.list
update apt cache:
apt update
install anydesk:
apt install anydesk
Sometimes it does not allow installation from GUI. You can follow below commands:
wget https://download.anydesk.com/linux/anydesk_2.9.6-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i https://download.anydesk.com/linux/anydesk_2.9.6-1_amd64.deb
Now go to that folder in your terminal and use
sudo apt install ./anydesk_2.9.6-1_amd64.deb
If you have already installed anydesk and want to un-install use bellow command:
sudo apt-get --purge remove anydesk
I was getting the following error:
E: Unsupported file ./anydesk_5.1.0-1_amd64.deb given on commandline
The following commands (as root) worked for me:
$ sudo su
$ echo "deb http://deb.anydesk.com/ all main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/anydesk-stable.list
$ apt update
$ apt install anydesk
