[SOLVED] how to install viber in Ubuntu?

Issue

is it possible to install Viber VoIP client in Ubuntu ? So that I can call people from my Ubuntu system. I am using Ubuntu 12.04. I followed these many steps :

Downloaded : 

wget http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/Viber.zip

Then unzipped it : 

unzip Viber.zip
cd Viber
~/Viber/Viber.sh

But still it is not working. Giving error like "word unexpected" & "invalid encoding". If someone has installed, please suggest me.

Thank you.


Solution

You have to use wine to get the Viber working with wizard on ubuntu. 

sudo apt-get install wine
wget http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/windows/ViberSetup.exe
wine ViberSetup.exe
