Skype is a cross-platform proprietary chat (text and video) application.

It also provides voice calls and desktop sharing. It uses a proprietary Internet telephony (VoIP) network called the Skype protocol.

安装

Please note: the latest versions of Skype work only on 64 bit architectures.

It is possible to install Skype on Fedora using these package methods.

  • Using the RPM by Skype

  • Using a Flatpak hosted by Flathub.

Installing Skype using the Skype RPM repository

To install Skype using the Skype RPM repository:

  1. Add a Skype repository file on your machine

    $ sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/microsoft-skype.repo

  2. Add Skype stable and unstable repositories by adding following text in the text editor

    [microsoft-skype]
name=Microsoft Skype
baseurl=https://repo.skype.com/rpm/stable/
gpgkey=file:///usr/share/distribution-gpg-keys/skype/SKYPE-GPG-KEY
enabled=1

[microsoft-skype-unstable]
name=Microsoft Skype Unstable
baseurl=https://repo.skype.com/rpm/unstable/
gpgkey=file:///usr/share/distribution-gpg-keys/skype/SKYPE-GPG-KEY
enabled=0

You can copy the text and paste it in the text editor using CTRL+SHIFT+v. Hit CTRL + x to exit the text editor. Hit Y to save the file.
