fedora 20: install viber

i'm sure you've heard of viber. it's available on desktops too. even on linux desktops! here's how i got it installed on my 64bit fedora 20:

1. download and extract http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/Viber.zip
    i extracted the Viber folder in my /home/user/ directory

2. change the ownership of your viber directory to your user; to do it on the terminal:
    # cd /home/user/
    # sudo chown -Rf user:user Viber


3. make Viber and Viber.sh executable by changing their permission; to do it on the terminal:
    # chmod +x /home/user/Viber/Viber
    # chmod +x /home/user/Viber/Viber.sh

4. test by running Viber.sh shell script:
    # /bin/sh /home/user/Viber/Viber.sh

viber on!

  3. I start it but it says after I enter activation code that this type of activation is no longer used, and that it will start some wizard. Then I click ok and it shuts down.

    It looks like it is too old version in this zip, so I'll just use windows version and run it with Wine.
