  • Did you check here? http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/downloading/?type=ubuntu64 FYI: Skype is not Free Software and therefore not in the main repository. – mcantsin Apr 28 '14 at 16:58
  • Add the repository: sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ quantal partner" >> /etc/apt/sources.list' then just sudo apt-get install skype – RhZ Apr 28 '14 at 17:31

  1. Download the .deb file from skype.com

  2. Select Ubuntu 12.04 (multiarch) in the drop down menu.

  3. Double left-click on the .deb file it downloads. Ubuntu Software Center should handle the installation.

you can activate in the repository the programs of partners and you can do sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install skype end it's all, ubuntu it's characterized by the easiest forms to do something
