How to install Viber in Ubuntu?
Solution 1:
Viber has released its official client for Ubuntu/Linux. To install it, open your terminal with CTRL+ALT+T and type:
wget https://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/Viber.zip
Then unzip it and cd
to that viber directory. Then do as:
unzip Viber.zip
cd Viber
~/Viber/Viber.sh
That will install Viber in your Ubuntu.
How to install in .DEB way // Currently only 64-bit available
Open your terminal and type:
wget -O viber.deb https://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/viber.deb
sudo dpkg -i viber.deb
That's it. You can access Viber in your Ubuntu.
Update : I came to know that some of the users are getting
home/$USERNAME/Viber/Viber: 1: /home/$USERNAME/Viber/Viber: �: not found
/home/$USERNAME/Viber/Viber: 1: /home/$USERNAME/Viber/Viber: ELF: not found
/home/$USERNAME/Viber/Viber: 1: /home/$USERNAME/Viber/Viber: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
so that Issue can be fixed by "♦: command not found" in tty after login post.
Solution 2:
Download deb package from viber.com
Install the .deb
package:
cd /viber_download_location/
sudo dpkg -i viber.deb
If you are running 32bit system use
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i viber.deb
