Viber installation
Note: Viber is currently available only on 64bit platforms, so no 32bit install
~$ wget http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/viber.deb ~$ sudo dpkg -i viber.deb ~$ sudo apt-get -f install
Start Viber and go through the activation process to install the application on your mobile phone.
Viber in debian wheezy has to be installed in another way:
#the following method worked for me:
sudo mkdir /opt/Viber1/
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/Viber1
cd /opt/Viber1/
wget http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/Viber.zip
wget http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.7_amd64.deb
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6-dev_2.15-0ubuntu10.7_amd64.deb
# now we have to unzip Viber:
unzip Viber.zip
cd Viber
mkdir libc6_2.15
cd libc6_2.15
# now we have to unzip both deb files in the same folder:
dpkg -X ../../libc6-dev_2.15-0ubuntu10.7_amd64.deb .
dpkg -X ../../libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.7_amd64.deb .
#now execute Viber
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu .././Viber
Thanks man… just had to use the updated libraries
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6-dev_2.15-0ubuntu10.9_amd64.deb
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.9_amd64.deb

Everything is very open and very clear explanation for ubuntu viber. was truly information, keep moving
On Linux Mint 18.1 Serena I had to install libcurl3 first, then install viber:
sudo apt install libcurl3
sudo dpkg -i viber.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
this worked for me but the version is 7.0.0 and i don’t know how to update it
Also worked on linux mint 19 cinnamon..!
This fixed my Viber with a white screen after a kernel upgrade.
Thanks!
On ubuntu 18.04 I have libcurl conflicts, viber requires libcurl3 and other packages (specifically php_curl-7.2) require libcurl4. VirtualBox, Slack etc work with either 3 or 4.
