    You can download the package here https://teams.microsoft.com/download, double click and follow the package manager instructions.

    Installation can be executed from GUI or from terminal. When installation from GUI fails, it is a good idea to attempt the same action from the terminal where more verbose errors can be issued and more details obtained to unblock the installation.

    Debian based distributions (.deb)

    Install using apt:

    sudo apt install ./teams-insiders_1.2.00.26154_amd64.deb  
    

    RPM based distributions (.rpm)

    Option 1 - Using rpm:

    sudo rpm -i ./teams-insiders-1.2.00.26154-1.x86_64.rpm  
    

    Option 2 - Using yum (Recommended):

    sudo yum install ./teams-insiders-1.2.00.26154-1.x86_64.rpm  
    

    Dependencies issues can be similar to dpkg, rpm will try to install the package, but can complain about unmet dependencies, alternative is to use yum which will try to resolve the dependencies automatically.

    Hi, I have been trying to install Teams but I get an error saying "Dependency is not satisfiable: libgtk-3-0 (>=3.19.12)" when I try to use the package installer interface. I tried installing from the terminal and this was the output:
    sudo apt install ./teams_1.4.00.13653_amd64.deb
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    Note, selecting 'teams' instead of './teams_1.4.00.13653_amd64.deb'
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     teams : Depends: libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.19.12) but 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3 is to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
    

    I tried running "sudo apt upgrade libgtk-3-0" and got this:
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    libgtk-3-0 is already the newest version (3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3).
    Calculating upgrade... Done

    What can I do in this situation? I'm using Linux Mint 18.2, which is a Debian based system.

    You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
