Why don't we have any official Viber for PC application yet. Why is there any need for such tutorial on Viber PC application. These questions certainly need to be answered by the Viber team. We talked about their mobile voip application for iPhone, how you can use Viber to make free mobile calls. Since it has only launched its iPhone application, Android Application and Blackberry App (with some limited features), the wait for viber app for computer is getting longer!
Viber is certainly one cool application that everyone should have in their iPhone. Almost all those having a smartphone, use internet on their mobile phones. So, what if everyone start using 3G and thus, Viber on their smartphones. Then you can easily talk to each other for free and make free calls. That's certainly possible now :)
But what about those not having a smartphone, but still want to talk to their friends (on their iPhone) using Viber. I think it should soon launch their PC app. Please share your views on this. Do you really require Viber PC application or are you satisfied using viber only on your mobile!
Also a lot of people while on their computer, want to access everything from pc only. Who doesn't like to do the job of mobile from their laptop itself (off course vice versa is also true). I guess Viber should soon officially launch its PC application. But till the time it launches its official app for PC, lets see a way by which you can use Viber on your PC.
You can run any android application on this emulator. So we are suggesting for now (till viber for pc is officially out) is to install android emulator on PC and run Viber application on this emulator.
What do you need to run Viber on PC using android emulator :

- A new window will pop up. On the right hand side (as explained in image), click "New". AVD is simply Android Virtual Drive (or android emulator drive on computer).
- In the target option, select the OS package which we just download. In this case "Android 4.1", select installer package size as "512". Click "Create AVD". Accept everything (ok) in the pop up window.

- Select AVD Manager and select the AVD which we just created. "Click Start".
- Click Launch in the pop up window.
- Android OS will start on your PC. It is much like the android mobile on your computer with screen and keyboard.

- Enable Wifi : Menu then Settings then Wifi then Enable Wifi.
- In the android emulator, start browser. Visit www.viber.com.
- Install the Viber Android App from Viber website. This will install the app on your emulator. Otherwise use above viber apk link to download this app.

Bcoz if they did that is the same as phone/tv/internet/2way/radio All FREE to Air........
Every signal sent is free to air, Transmiters and receivers.Low power ratio, high transfer, Tesla free, free wiring, the electric universe. Beautiful.
One idea would be to install Android SDK with simulator. Get the viber installed there and try using it.
There must be a PC version of Viber. After knowing about Viber benefits, i was also searching viber for my PC. Its good to have PC version, they must do the job to make it possible.
Thanks

Thanks

Unable to install viber on Android emulator, it downloads fine but the error comes up "Application cannot be installed" Tried installing using adb but comes up with this error "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]" Do you know which library is missing or how to fix this issue?
Same Here when installed with abd.exe :[INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]"
and also when downloaded on Android could not be installed!
i think it is better to wait for some time to luch the app viber for pc and then we will be able to instal the app driecdetly befcuse this proceedure is abit complicated and most of the time not wroking better to wait for origanl apps
yo, this is not going to work! The reason why you get [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY] is because the viber app needs to use google map libraries, i presume its because you can share your location via messaging on the app. Installing google maps on the emulator will still not solve your problem, you need to manually copy two files from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=847869&d=1326049996
to /system folder on the emulator using adb push, unfortunately this does not work as you get the error message "read only filesystem" or "out of space" even though adb says its rooted it just does not want to copy them over. Apparently you can remount them in a way which it will copy but ive had no luck. It's not worth the effort, the tutorial provided here is rubbish, it shows you how to install the emulator, but doesnt show you how to install the apk
Hello

Hello,
Can you please help me? I have installed the emulator, Android 4.0.3 and downloaded viber.apk but when I press on it from the slide down window, it says 'Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped' and wouldn't install. I went to Downloads and clicked install from there, but after a bit it says 'Application not installed' I have been trying again and again for one whole night. Can you help?
Thank you.
would you please tell us how to change Target to Google APIs? Thank you.
After running Android Virtual Device Manager click on "New" and select the "Target" to "Google APIs (Google Inc.) - API Level 15" in "Create new Android Virtual Device(AVD)" dialog box to create new a new AVD. Start the new one which will help you to install viber.apk successfully.
