Setting up Viber on a computer We launch Viber, in Windows this can be done using a shortcut on the desktop, and in Linux Mint using “Menu->Internet->Viber” (the process of setting up Viber in Windows and Linux is no different). After starting on the first window, we answer “Yes”, since in this article we are considering the option when Viber is already on the phone, therefore we answer “Yes”. Then enter the phone number and click Continue. After that, a QR code will be displayed on the next window, and a QR code scanner will start on the phone. You read this code accordingly and that's it, Viber activation on your computer is completed. Next, click the "Open Viber" button. When you first start Viber on your computer, the program will offer to synchronize your chat history, click the "Synchronization" button, a window will open on your phone at this time in which you need to confirm the synchronization, i.e. press the "Start" button.

Installing Viber on Linux
Viber supports installation on Ubuntu and Fedora Linux distributions, as well as all derivative distributions.
Note!
We will consider the process of installing Viber on the Linux operating system using the example of the Linux Mint 18 distribution kit (in this case, with the Mate graphical shell).
Viber can only be installed on a 64-bit system, 32-bit systems are currently not supported. You can check which system you have installed using the uname -m command, which must be run in the Linux terminal, it should return the value x86_64 (or you can simply launch the welcome screen from the control center, where the necessary information is displayed).
Step 1
There is no Viber program in the Linux Mint repositories, so we will download the deb package from the official site and install it manually using the terminal.
To do this, launch the terminal, for example, using the icon on the panel or from the Mint->Terminal menu.

Step 2
Then we run the command to download the installation package of the Viber program, for example, let's download the package to the "Downloads" directory of the current user using the wget utility.
Now we can proceed directly to installing the Viber program. To do this, let's use the apt-get command, since in this case all the packages that are needed for Viber to work will be installed automatically (at the prompt for entering a password, enter the user's password).
sudo apt-get -y install ~/Downloads/viber.deb
You can also install Viber using the dpkg package manager, but in this case we install all dependencies with a separate command.
Installing Viber
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/viber.deb
Installing dependencies
sudo apt-get -f -y install
To remove the installation file, you can use the following command, or go to the Downloads folder using a graphical file manager and remove the package there.
sudo rm -f ~/Downloads/viber.deb
If you need to uninstall viber, then you can use the following command to do this.
sudo apt-get -y --purge remove viber
To remove all related packages that we no longer need, after we remove Viber, we need to run the following command, thus we can free up disk space.
