How To: Install TeamSpeak

Download the Linux client from the TeamSpeak website (http://www.goteamspeak.com/downloads.php)

Then launch the xterm console via Ctrl+Alt+T then type as below -

• cd “My Documents” <or wherever you saved the TS client file you downloaded to>
• tar -jxf ts2_client_rc2_2032.tar.bz2
• cd ts2_client_rc2_2032
• sudo chmod 755 setup.sh
• sudo sh setup.sh

This will then launch the GUI based installer which is very much like the one in Windows so no real explanation should be needed for this part. Simply install to: /opt/TeamSpeak2RC2

Then back in the xterm console type:

• sudo ln -s /opt/TeamSpeak2RC2/TeamSpeak /usr/bin/

Once this is complete in the future if you wish to launch TeamSpeak just type TeamSpeak into the xterm console window and press Enter.

If you want to open teamspeak: URL links within Mozilla Firefox: Launch Firefox and type about:config in the address bar.
