    How to Install AnyDesk on Ubuntu 18.04 & 16.04

    By RahulFebruary 3, 20182 Mins ReadUpdated:September 23, 2020

    AnyDesk is an outstanding application for the remote desktop similar to TeamViewer. You can say it an alternative of the TeamViewer, which is available freely. Anydesk provides a faster remote connection than any other existing remote desktop application. Personally, I also love it and use. This tutorial will help you to install AnyDesk on Ubuntu systems.

    But, if you still love TeamViewer, You can also install TeamViewer using these instructions.

    Step 1 – Install AnyDesk on Ubuntu

    Anydesk is available in both 64-Bit and 32-Bit formats. You can directly download Debian packages from its official website. Otherwise use the apt repository to install package.

    First of all, add the repository key to Trusted software providers list

    wget -qO - https://keys.anydesk.com/repos/DEB-GPG-KEY | apt-key add -
    

    Then configure the Anydesk apt repository:

    echo "deb http://deb.anydesk.com/ all main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/anydesk.list
    

    Finally, install the Anydesk on Ubuntu system by executing following commands on your system.

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install anydesk
    

    The above commands will install Anydesk on your Ubuntu system including any dependencies.

    Step 2 – Launch AnyDesk

    Once installation finished, launch the AnyDesk on your system. You will get an AnyDesk ID for connecting from remote systems using AnyDesk. Now, You may need to set a password for unattended access. This will set a fixed password on your system, Which can be used anytime to connect.

    Check the Enable unattended access checkbox and set a secure password.

    Step 3 – Connect AnyDesk

    You also need to install AnyDesk on the client system. Then connect from the remote system using the ID provided by AnyDesk and password set in the previous step.

    All done. You have access to the Desktop of the remote system.

      Great steps showcasing installation of Anydesk on Ubuntu. Additionally, one can also use tools like on premise R-HUB remote support servers, Logmein, Teamviewer etc. for all remote access and support needs. They are easy to use and work on all platforms including Ubunutu.

      Can AnyDesk be set up using CLI? For your instructions to work, I’d need to be physically present where the machine is for the initial launch and configuration which would be done in a GNome session.

      I want to install it on a remote machine that is running CentOS 7. I currently have access via SSH only.

      I’ve installed Anydesk on ubuntu 16.04 server. If it is rebooted or wake on lan remotely, without login, I can connect but I can’t do anything. Keyboard is not working and I can’t login. I must login first and then I can connect and it works fine. Why is it happens? How can I solve it?
      If Anydesk is installed on a windows PC, then it works fine anytime.

      Thanks for your post.

      No me funciona en Ubuntu 18.04, al menos no para conectarme a equipos con Windows, he intentado con varios equipos y se cuelga una vez que escribo la contraseña o el usuario al otro lado acepta la conexión. Lo necesito por temas de trabajo, y hace 2 días que me pasé a Ubuntu, cansado de Windows

        tuve el mismo problema, lo arregle de esta forma.
        en la consola > pkill anydesk
        luego abri de nuevo anydesk y pone el password
        luego trata de conectarte nuevamente. Deberia funcionar
