Install Skype on Kali Linux 64bit

Skype is not available for 64bit architecture of linux. So to install skype we have to add 32bit architecture logically.


Lets take a look how to do that.

First go to skype webpage and download Skype debian version.
and save it to home directory.

Now add the the 32bit architecture into your OS. Type the following command to do that.

root@kali:~# dpkg --add-architecture 1386

Now type the following command to install skype.

root@kali:~# dpkg -i skype-debian_4.2.0.13-1_i386.deb

Now go to Applications>Internet> you'll find the icon of Skype.

Now type the following command to remove the 64bit architecture.

root@kali:~# dpkg --remove-architecture 1386
Update the repository.

root@kali:~# apt-get update


Thats all.
