Trying to install teamviewer 15 on linux Mint 17


Dear LQ,
teamviewer offers a debian package to install on debian derivatives. When I tried to install it, it failed and said that teamviewer15 needs libminizip1, and libminzip1 is not available for my distro's version (17 is too old).

I downloaded libminizip.deb from debian and installed it.

I tried to install teamviewer again, but it seems it still can't the library (or doesn't even look for it).

Has anyone succeeded in doing something similar ?


Code:
ychaouche#ychaouche-PC 14:08:33 ~/DOWNLOADS/APPS $ sudo dpkg -i teamviewer15.21.4_linux_x64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package teamviewer.

Oh, silly me I installed the lib for the wrong architecture. Should have been amd64 not i386. Fixed ! (teamviewer installs but won't run )

TeamViewer is proprietary software. If it's not working, talk to TeamViewer support!
