Teamspeak 3 on Elementary OS 0.3

Today I’m pushing out a lot of posts, this time about „Howto install Teamspeak 3 on Elementary OS 0.3“.

1. Go to http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads and grab the client either x86 (32bit) or amd64 (64bit)
2. Open Terminal and go to the folder you downloaded the client to. On my PC it looked like this:

   benjamin@BensTux:~$ cd Downloads/
   benjamin@BensTux:~/Downloads$ chmod +x TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64-3.0.16.run 
   benjamin@BensTux:~/Downloads$ ./TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64-3.0.16.run

3.  Move the client sudo mv ~/Downloads/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64/ /opt/
4. Download the Teamspeak Icon below, which is from the official plugin SDK
   
5. Now create a new Desktop Entry at vim ~/.local/share/applications/teamspeak.desktop with the content

   [Desktop Entry]
   Type=Application
   Name=Teamspeak 3 Client
   GenericName=Teamspeak
   Version=3.0.16
   Comment=Speak with your friends
   Exec=/opt/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64/ts3client_runscript.sh
   Icon=/opt/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64/Teamspeak3-Icon.png
   Terminal=false
   X-MultipleArgs=false
   Categories=Network
   StartupWMClass=Teamspeak
   StartupNotify=true

Now you can start and run Teamspeak from the Launcher. Have fun talking!
