Installing viber on 32 bit ubuntu

Viber for 32 bit ubuntu (debian package) not officially supported yet (14 august 2016). So we have to work a little bit hard to configure viber in ubuntu 32 bit system.I will use ubuntu latest version (ubuntu 16.04 LTS). I have successfully configured Viber on ubuntu 16.04 and I hope anyone will be able to do so if he follows these steps.

[We are using wine and windows binary package in this purpose.]

At first we have to install wine (if not installed ) . Open terminal and write.

 

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wine

It will take time.

Hope wine installation successfully performed.

Now we have to download viber for windows . We will be able to find viber in their official site  get viber.

Next we have to run downloaded “ViberSetup.exe” from terminal using wine.Let’s say we have “viberSetup.exe” at “/home/username/Downloads” directory. In terminal we can run using following commands.

cd /home/username/Downloads

wine ViberSetup.exe

This will launch a window where we will find necessary steps to install vibe (if you dont understand anything inly “next” and “finish” button will perform everything don’t worry).

If installation performs properly a window will be shown like this.

Congratulation ,you have successfully installed viber on ubuntu 🙂 .

Possible Errors

There is a common problem .Which shows a window with message internet connection problems like shonw in the figure.

If you find this error (and your internet connection is good) just a little step can solve this.

Download these two files :[downloading first one is enough but if not please download both]

https://www.thawte.com/roots/thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem

and

https://github.com/katmagic/https-everywhere/blob/master/cert-validity/mozilla/builtin-certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.crt

Copy them in “/usr/local/share/ca-certificates”

sudo   cp  thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem   /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem

sudo   cp    Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.crt    /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.crt

then run following command on terminal

sudo update-ca-certificates

Then restart your pc (a logout and login should work).This should correct this error.

Note. if still the problem occurs you can try again using a earlier version of viber you can download one from  viber older versions .

Good luck 🙂 .
