How to Install TeamViewer on Raspberry Pi without GUI

The Raspberry Pi team has made significant advancements in creating a user-friendly operating system for their popular single-board computers. The most often used distribution across all raspberries is Raspberry Pi OS (originally known as Raspbian), a derivative of Debian. However, some users may want to access their Raspberry Pi remotely using TeamViewer without the need for a graphical user interface.

To achieve this, we'll need to use the command line interface (CLI) and install TeamViewer on our Raspberry Pi. Here's how:

Firstly, make sure your Raspberry Pi is running the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS or Debian. If you're not sure which distribution your Raspberry Pi is running, you can check by typing `lsb_release -a` in the terminal.

Once you've confirmed the distribution, you can install TeamViewer using the following command:

```

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install teamviewer

```

This will download and install TeamViewer on your Raspberry Pi. Once installed, you'll need to configure TeamViewer by running the following command:

```

teamviewer setup

```

Follow the prompts to set up TeamViewer and generate a unique ID and password for remote access.

Note that if you're using an older Raspberry Pi model (before the 4), you may need a non-free binary blob to boot from the GPU. This binary blob is available in the non-free Debian repository, packaged as the raspi-firmware package (or raspi3-firmware until Debian 10).

For those who want a ready-to-use image without having to set up everything manually, visit RaspberryPiImages for pre-configured images.

In conclusion, installing TeamViewer on Raspberry Pi without GUI is possible using the command line interface. This tutorial has shown you how to install and configure TeamViewer on your Raspberry Pi, allowing you to access it remotely from anywhere.
