+How to Install Viber in Ubuntu and Other Linux
+======
+
+**Here’s a quick guide on how you can install Viber in Ubuntu and other Linux systems.**
+
+[Viber][1] is a free, secure calling and messaging program for all popular mobile platforms and operating systems.
+
+It has a rich set of features such as voice/video calls, text messages with GIFs, stickers, photos, and videos. In addition, Viber features group chats, group calls and disappearing messages.
+
+Viber is a closed-source program, but available as free for Linux distributions with native executable clients.
+
+Here’s how to install it.
+
+### Install Viber on Linux
+
+It is available as an AppImage executable, deb and rpm package. Follow the respective button below to download it directly. The average executable size is ~180MB.
+
+[Download Appimage for all Linux distros][2]
+
+[Deb executable for Ubuntu][3]
+
+RPM package for Fedora
+
+If you have downloaded AppImage, simply change the permission to executable from any file manager. Then run.
+
+- For Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian and related distributions, you can install deb package via [many methods][4].
+
+- You may double-click and open via the installed software manager. Or install via dpkg command as below.
+
+```
+sudo dpkg -i viber.deb
+```
+
+- For Fedora and RPM-based packages, you can install via the following command.
+
+```
+sudo dnf localinstall viber.rpm
+```
+
+For Arch Linux and other distributions, you can use the Appimage as I explained above.
+
+### Usage
+
+After you finish installing Viber, open it via the application menu. Here are a couple of things you need to remember.
+
+Before you start using Viber from your Laptop/desktop, you need to set it up on your mobile phone. Download and install Viber for your mobile platform from the below links.
+
+- [Google Play Store][5]
+- [Apple App Store][6]
+
+Once installed, set up Viber. Remember, it requires your mobile number to register.
+
+After setting up, open the app on the Linux desktop. And you should see a screen like the one below.

+
+Scan the QR code from your mobile phone app, and you should be ready to use Viber on your Linux desktop.
+
+**Note:** Since it is a closed-source app, make sure you understand the terms of this app and privacy-related situations while using Viber.
