It's not possible to install viber even in mga7 as we don't have any pkg providing libcrypto.so.10 or gstreamer1 in distro.
You could try the flatpak https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.viber.Viber https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Ways_to_install_programs#Flatpak

Peter did you make a symlink or some other trick? I have done such for some foreign rpm. Whatever the reason or trick, Viber is not a package of ours, thus closing. Tricks to make foreign packages work are better discussed and shared at the forum, to help more users. Or even make a wiki, like we have for i.e Skype.

Maybe a post-mortem will fly.... I have viber for very occasional use as GF from VN uses it to connect with people back home. [rolf@x570i ~]$ rpm -q viber viber-13.3.1.22-2 I think if you google viber rpm, go to the website, choose to download an rpm, they just give you a deb. It's been a while but forensics suggest I use 'alien' on the deb package. [rolf@x570i ~]$ rpm -qpi /download/viber/20201227/viber-13.3.1.22-2.x86_64.rpm Name : viber Version : 13.3.1.22 Release : 2 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: (not installed) Group : Converted/non-free/net Size : 349863801 License : see /usr/share/doc/viber/copyright Signature : (none) Source RPM : viber-13.3.1.22-2.src.rpm Build Date : Sun 27 Dec 2020 09:51:17 AM PST Build Host : x570i.lan Summary : Free Text & Calls. Description : Join Viber for Desktop to for a one-of-a-kind calling and messaging experience right on your computer! With Viber for Desktop you can make free international calls from your computer to any other Viber user, resting assured your calls and messages are protected by end-to-end encryption.

Easily sync between your mobile's chat history and contact list in order to start enjoying Viber for Desktop. (Converted from a deb package by alien version 8.95.) [rolf@x570i ~]$ [rolf@x570i ~]$ alien --help Usage: alien [options] file [...] ... -r, --to-rpm Generate a Red Hat rpm package. ... -c, --scripts Include scripts in package. ... So, '-r' would be one needed option and I always forget '--scripts' but I think that is one other important option to use, in my experience. Long story short, I have converted the deb from viber.com to an rpm with alien and that is working for my limited usage, anyway. Aside, viber offers an appimage for download and I can use that with similar success on MGA8 64-bit.
