Download Anydesk for Linux

AnyDesk is a multi-platform program that allows IT experts and general users to connect to a remote desktop in a secure way. AnyDesk for Ubuntu uses the standardized TLS 1.2 protocol, which prevents attackers from connecting to your computer remotely. Additionally, 256-bit transit encryption is used to protect data, and hashing with a salt is used to protect passwords.

AnyDesk functionality on Linux

Among the main features of AnyDesk for Linux:

• Remote access to all computer information;
• Wake-on-LAN on command from a remote device (for the function to work, it is necessary that the computer is not completely turned off, but simply in sleep mode);
• Administrator control over group users, which is similar to how the separation of rights is implemented in Linux operating systems;
• Recording sessions of remote access to the computer;
• Synchronization of phone contacts;
• Remote printing.

System requirements

Before downloading AnyDesk for Ubuntu, make sure your computer meets the following minimum system requirements:

• Processor with a clock speed of at least 1.5 GHz;
• Availability of RAM at least 512 MB;
• Free hard disk or SSD space of 2 MB or more.

Installing Anydesk on Linux: Ubuntu, Red Hat, Fedora

Installing AnyDesk on Ubuntu:

• Open a terminal;
• Navigate to your Downloads folder by typing cd /home/user/Downloads, replacing “user” with your account name;
• Type sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb, replacing “package_name” with the exact name of the downloaded file;
• Enter your password and press Enter;
• Type “sudo dpkg -f install” (without quotes) in a terminal to install all dependencies, if any.

If you don’t want to work through the terminal, you can use the graphical Gdebi installer. For this:

Install Gdebi if the program is not already on your computer by typing sudo apt install gdebi in the terminal;

• Enter your account password, press Enter;
• Open the Downloads folder in the file manager;
• Right-click on the saved file, select “open in Gdebi”;
• A window will open in which you need to click on “Install package”;
• Enter your password.

To install the program in Red Hat:

• Download the package from our website;
• Open a terminal;
• Navigate to your Downloads folder by typing cd /home/user/Downloads, replacing “user” with your account name;
• Type the command sudo rpm -ivh package_name.rpm, replacing “package_name” with the name of the downloaded file;
• Wait for the installation completion message to appear.

Now you can run the installed software. Fedora doesn’t need a separate manual. Because Red Hat and Fedora use the rpm package type for installation, the above instructions work on both operating systems.
