Standard installation procedure of todays viber.deb file (2014-04-23) is to copy the files to /usr/share/viber (which usually requires root privileges) and then do a "chmod a+s" on "Viber" and "Viber.sh". Maybe this should be mentioned, to not lead unexperienced users to false sense of security. | |
