Solution 2:

One way is to install WeChat is a third-party WeChat client for Linux called electronic-wechat.

1. Go to https://github.com/geeeeeeeeek/electronic-wechat/releases
2. Download the file for your architecture, either linux-ia32.tar.gz or linux-x64.tar.gz
3. Extract the file with tar xvf linux-ia32.tar.gz or tar xvf linux-x64.tar.gz
4. Go to the directory with the extracted file and run ./electronic-wechat

Solution 3:

Installing electronic-wechat works for me.

sudo apt install snapd snapd-xdg-open
sudo snap install electronic-wechat
