Maybe the desktop file is missing from that package or the package is broken somehow.
Anyway seeing what's installed by the viber package might be useful to find the binary to execute and run the application.
Thanks for your reply!
I've done what you said, but there wasn't any difference in it. So what I did was that I downloaded it again from Viber's site, but this time with Firefox, which didn't even ask do I want to overwrite the existing viber.deb. And it automatically opened the Qapt to install. I pressed 'install', and it did install.
But when I tried to start it from the terminal, didn't work as it said no such command. This time however I opened Dolphin and navigated to /opt/viber, and pressed on the file called Viber, and it suddenly appeared! Although it didn't react anything to that earlier either! I set it up, and now it's even shown in the Launcher. This is totally irrational...
Yet I have another question still connected to viber:
When viber runs it has a little icon in the panel tray, which holds also the sound, networks and so on. Now, when I press left click on the usual panel tray icons for instance: networks; it pops up. But when I press on the Viber's icon nothing happens. Only if I press right click and choose "open Viber" then it comes up. But I don't have problem with Skype, which reacts to its panel tray icon at once. Do you have any ideas why is that, or how to fix it? As it worked earlier, I mean on earlier versions of the Plasma.
