The message "replace Viber/Sound/DTMF/0.wav? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: error: in]alid response" leads me to believe that you've installed Viber previously (or tried), and have leftovers from previous installations.

unzip noticed that a file from the Viber.zip archive would, if unzipped, overwrite Viber/Sound/DTMF/0.wav, and offered you a choice of actions:

Type y to replace the existing file with the one from Viber.zip.
Type n to keep the old Viber/Sound/DTMF/0.wav.
Type A to replace this file, and any following files to be overwritten with the files from the archives.
Type N to keep the old file, and continue to keep old files, rather than asking again.

You responded with something else, which was invalid.

Rerun the unzip Viber.zip and answer with one of the valid choices.

Here is how I'm installing Viber on Ubuntu 16.04:

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/viber.deb
sudo dpkg -i viber.deb
sudo apt install -f

rm viber.deb # optionally remove the installation package

If you want to remove it:

sudo apt remove viber*

Because Viver's auto-start option doesn't work as it is expected, I would suggest you my workaround to run Viber at user log-in:

1. Copy and paste into a terminal and execute as single command the following lines to create custom viber.launcher script:

cat << EOF | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/viber.launcher && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/viber.launcher
#!/bin/sh
sleep 1
killall Viber > /dev/null 2>&1
sleep 1
killall Viber > /dev/null 2>&1
sleep 3
/opt/viber/Viber /dev/null 2>&1 &    # cat /usr/share/applications/viber.desktop
sleep 5
xdotool windowminimize \$(xdotool search --name "Viber" | tail -1)
EOF
  • xdotool is required: sudo apt install xdotool
  • Tweak the sleep values for slow PCs.

2. Create Startup Applications entry for the script by using the same technique (do this for each user):

cat << EOF | tee $HOME/.config/autostart/viber.launcher.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=viber.launcher
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=ViberCustomLauncher
Name=ViberCustomLauncher
Comment= Launch Viber
EOF
