To Install AnyDesk on Linux Mint 20

Introduction:

AnyDesk is a German proprietary remote desktop application dispersed by AnyDesk Software GmbH. The platform is specialized in providing platform liberated remote access to the other devices by running the host application. Its fundamental goal is to offer remote control, file transfer, and VPN functionality. This tutorial encloses the installation of AnyDesk on Linux Mint 20

Installation Procedure:

First check the version of the OS.

root@LinuxHelp:~# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Linux Mint"
VERSION="20 (Ulyana)"``
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE=ubuntu
PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 20"

Before the installation of AnyDesk, I have to enable the AnyDesk repository by using the following command

root@LinuxHelp:~# wget -qO - https://keys.anydesk.com/repos/DEB-GPG-KEY | sudo apt-key add -
OK

Once the repository is enabled then I have to add the Anydesk repository to your system repository

root@LinuxHelp:~# sudosh -c 'echo "deb http://deb.anydesk.com/ all main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/anydesk.list'

When the repository is added the succeeding process is to add the packages.
