So here we gonna install Teamspeak 3 on Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela (Cinammon Edition for me).

Edit: This still still working on 6 October 2015

-What is TeamSpeak 3 ?:

Teamspeak 3 is a vocal-based chat. If you got a Server(you can rent or create them), you and your friends can connect it through Teamspeak and create channels, manage them, add passwords etc. It's ideal for gaming for example.

But this link will explain probably better than i do.

-How do i install it ?:

1) First you need to download the '.run' file, to do this you can go to the official website here:

http://www.teamspeak.com/downloads

Then choose the Linux version (32 or 64 bit depending on your system). To know if you're on a 32 or 64 bit system just open a Terminal and type 'arch'. If you see 'x86_64' you're on a 64 bit system. If you see something else(“i686” or “i386” or whatever else) you're on 32 bit.

2) Now that he have downloaded the .run archive we need tu extract this. Open a Terminal and go to your .run location then type:

>> sudo chmod +x TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.17.run
 

Be sure to replace the archive name on this command line by the one that you downloaded (When i did this tutorial i was the 3.0.17 for example).

It will give you the rights to 'execute' the .run file. Then juste type:

>> ./TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.17.run

It will create you a folder named "Teamspeak3-Client-linux_amd64".

3) Go into this folder then you can launch the .sh files like that:

>> sh ts3client_runscript.sh

You have now installed TeamSpeak 3. There's a 4 step bonus if you want a shortcut on your desktop.


4) OPTIONAL: We gonna create a Shortcut to Teamspeak 3 on our Desktop:

Just go on your Desktop then Rightclick > Create a new launcher here...

Name it like you want, TeamSpeak 3 for example. Then on the command line juste use the 'Browse' button to indicate the path of the 'ts3client_runscript.sh' that we launched at step 3. You can add an icon by downloading one on Google. Here is one good:

Then just valid and you got your Teamspeak Desktop shortcut.

 

This is a very basic tutorial, hope this helped, if you got any question, feel free to ask.
