1. Install TeamViewer in Ubuntu 20.04 from official website

Step 1

This method is perhaps one of the most common since it consists of downloading the .deb package and then following some simple instructions, in this case the first step to take will be to download the TeamViewer file at the following link:
TeamViewer

Step 2

There we select the .deb file based on the architecture used (32 or 64 bits), in the pop-up window we select “Save File”: image
Step 3

We click OK and wait for the file to be downloaded, it will be in the Downloads folder by default, so we must access the terminal and go to that folder using cd and with "ls" we validate the TeamViewer download in Ubuntu 20.04:

Step 4

Once there we will execute the following command which launches the TeamViewer installation in Ubuntu 20.04:

Step 5

Once this command finishes its function, we can access TeamViewer:
