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
