Cannot install viber on Ubuntu 14.04 and 18.04

Question

I downloaded a Viber deb package from the official website (August 2018). But after trying to install it I get

./viber.deb: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./viber.deb: line 1: `!<arch>'

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and 18.04.

Perhaps the package owners can help better! – George Udosen Aug 29 '18 at 09:31 — George Udosen, Aug 29 '18 at 09:31
Did anyone else have such a problem? – user2513149 Aug 29 '18 at 13:42 — user2513149, Aug 29 '18 at 13:42

Silly mistake. I tried to install the deb package simply with

./viber.deb

but the correct way is

sudo dpkg -i viber.deb

And it worked.
