But when i install viber on fedora. It shows this error message.
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides libcrypto.so.10()(64bit) needed by viber-16.1.0.37-2.x86_64
(try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages)
Suposedly, viber is available as a flatpak. See https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.viber.Viber
Should also be available in Gnome Software.
The flatpak repository is similar to Playstore for Android
I just tried it out like this
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install viber
And it installed successfully. I suggest reading https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/using-flatpak.html for how to use flatpak packages. They are, by the way, not rpm packages.
Also, Gnome Software should be able to install flatpak apps; I never used it so it might not be true.

Flatpaks don’t use RPMs, so that shouldn’t be what you downloaded. Can you please try the commands noted above, they seem to work.
Where did you obtain this particular rpm? Whoever provides it needs to be informed that their rpm is not correctly generated—it needs to be rebuilt.

Probably from https://download.cdn.viber.com/desktop/Linux/viber.rpm
From rpm -qpi viber.rpm

(Converted from a deb package by alien version 8.95.)
So this was compiled, not for Fedora, but for Ubunto or similar.
That is why it won’t work on Fedora.

Yes, that’s probably the cause. They should build it on Fedora to ensure that it works with the packages that are in the current Fedora version (36).
