Fresh Install Skype on Elementary OS

Follow the steps to fresh install Skype on your Elementary OS

Check which version of Elementary OS you are using. Type the below command to check:

 lsb_release -a -u

In my case -

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID : Ubuntu
Description     : Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release           : 16.04
Codename      : xenial

Following were the errors occurred during the installing process. I searched different websites to install the Skype but failed. So, don't worry about the errors just follow these commands.

Open your terminator or terminal the command line application in your Linux OS.

1. Type this command to open sources.list. After that, it'll ask for the system password. Type the password correctly as it is not visible to the eyes.

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

2. Drag the cursor below to find the following lines and uncomment them (deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial partner). Save the file by using Ctrl + O button. After that, it'll ask for few commands like Append, Copy, exit options. Press M - An after saving the file.

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from Canonical's
## 'partner' repository.
## This software is not part of Ubuntu but is offered by Canonical and the
## respective vendors as a service to Ubuntu users.
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial partner
#deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial partner

You'll notice  'File Exits: Overwrite' [Y/N]  type in caps Y and then press Ctrl + X to exit.

3. Type

echo "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner" | sudo tee - a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/canonical_partner.list

4. Type  

 sudo apt-get update

5. Type 

 sudo apt-get install skype

It will take around 5 to 10 to be installed.
