With AnyDesk, you can access other computers remotely or let someone else access yours remotely. Because two devices use AnyDesk, not everyone can access it.

Following the Method to Install AnyDesk in Ubuntu

In the terminal, you can download files with a tool like wget. For that, use the following command:

sudo apt update

sudo apt -y upgrade

Next, download the GPG key from the AnyDesk repository and add it to the list of your trusted keys.

curl -fsSL https://keys.anydesk.com/repos/DEB-GPG-KEY|sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/anydesk.gpg

You may disregard the deprecated warning about the apt-key command for now. This will allow your system to trust the software that comes from this external repository.

echo "deb http://deb.anydesk.com/ all main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/anydesk-stable.list

Adding the AnyDesk repository to the repository sources of your system is the next step:

Update your package cache so that the system learns about new applications through the newly added repository.

sudo apt update

You can now install AnyDesk.

sudo apt install AnyDesk Once that is complete, you can launch AnyDesk from either the system menu or from the terminal:

$ anydesk

Enjoy AnyDesk now!
