Installation instructions:
Teamviewer is not available via PPA, but the software is available as a multiarch deb package available for both 32 bit (i386) and 64 bit (amd64) Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf, Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Linux Mint 17.x, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya and other Ubuntu derivative systems.
In order to avoid dependency issues on 64 bit systems, you need to enable multiarch, update the local repository index, install gdebi, and use it to install teamviewer.
For 64 bit systems, you also need to enable multiarch, but it is a good habit to disable it when you have finished the installation process.
