Lin­ux Desk­top

Down­load and In­stall Skype for Lin­ux

Skype for Desk­top is avail­able for Win­dows, Mac OS X and Lin­ux. For Lin­ux it is avail­able as snap, .rpm, and .deb pack­age. Kali is De­bian based so we need the .deb pack­age. 

wget https://go.skype.com/skypeforlinux-64.deb -O ~/Downloads/skype.deb
sudo apt install ~/Downloads/skype.deb
