Hi @Dr3maz,

SliTaz has it's own Package Manager called TazPkg, but since TeamViewer isn't in the repositories it's besides the point.

You could either use:

[c]tazpkg convert [the RPM or DEB file][/c]

and then install the resulting Tazpkg with:

[c]su<br />
tazpkg install [name of tazpkg].tazpkg[/c]
if you'd like to install it. Note that the default root password on SliTaz is just the word root. This may or may not run, since those packages are built for RedHat/Fedora or Debian, so some of the required files may be different versions or whatever on SliTaz and may fail because of it. If so, just uninstall it with [c]tazpkg remove [file without the .tazpkg][/c]

Since you have the .tar.gz package, which normally are all-in-one bundles when not source code, just extract it to a directory and run the [c]teamviewer[/c] script inside the 'teamviewer6' directory. You can do this either by double-clicking on it in the file manager or with:

[c]./teamviewer[/c]

in a terminal.

You may need to install WINE, since the TeamViewer package is actually the Windows program with a few bits added to make it work on Linux. You can do this through the Package Manager interface or in a terminal with:

[c]su<br />
tazpkg get-install wine[/c]
HIH.

Oh yeah: if you'd like to use sudo, then you'll need to install that.

Switch to the root user as before with [c]su[/c]. Then install sudo with:

[c]tazpkg get-install sudo[/c]

Next, you'll need to add yourself to the sudoers list, with the [c]visudo[/c] command. Append the following line:

[c]Dr3amz    ALL=(ALL) ALL[/c]

or if you don't want to be asked for your password when using sudo (not recommended):

[c]Dr3amz    ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL[/c]

Save and quit, and you're done!

HIH.
