TeamViewer - Connect to Remote Raspberry Pi computer that has no GUI Interface
To install TeamViewer on a Raspberry Pi without a GUI interface (headless installation), you can use the TeamViewer Host version. Here are the steps to install TeamViewer on a headless Raspberry Pi:
- Access Your Raspberry Pi: You'll need to have SSH access to your Raspberry Pi. Connect to it using SSH from another computer. Alternatively, you can also configure the Raspberry Pi directly (prior to deployment into the field. This is easier and more secure because you don't need to enable SSH.
- Download TeamViewer Host:
- Visit the TeamViewer download page for Raspberry Pi using a web browser: TeamViewer Raspberry Pi Download.
- Look for the TeamViewer Host for Raspberry Pi section.
- Right-click on the appropriate download link (choose 64-bit version for BirdNET-Pi) based on your Raspberry Pi model (e.g., Raspberry Pi 3 or Raspberry Pi 4) and choose "Copy link address" from the context menu.

- Download TeamViewer: - On your Raspberry Pi, use wget to download TeamViewer.
wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer_arm64.deb
- Install TeamViewer:- Install TeamViewer using dpkg. Replace <downloaded-package.deb> with the actual filename you downloaded. This will install TeamViewer without any GUI components.
sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_arm64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
- Set Up TeamViewer: Now, you can set up TeamViewer to work with your TeamViewer account by running the following command:
sudo teamviewer setup
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up TeamViewer, including signing in with your TeamViewer account or creating one if you don't have an account yet. You will be asked to sign in to your TeamViewer account. Once signed in, an email will be sent to your email address asking for the addition of the remote computer to be verified.

- Start TeamViewer: After setting up TeamViewer, you can start it by running:
sudo teamviewer daemon start
- Access the Raspberry Pi: You can now access and control your headless Raspberry Pi using TeamViewer from another computer.
