I'm a new user to Ubuntu and Linux, and I'm trying to install Skype. The software manager is starting but then canceling without any report, I tried doing it through the terminal using:

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

And some other methods, but I always get the same error every time:

E: Unable to locate package skype

I checked the Canonical reps, and I really have no idea what am I doing wrong here?

I am using Ubuntu 16.04, and I just tried to follow various threads, but reached the same dead end.

Skype isn't available from the Ubuntu repositories. To install it on a 64-bit system, open a terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+T) and run:

wget https://repo.skype.com/latest/skypeforlinux-64.deb
sudo apt install ./skypeforlinux-64.deb
rm skypeforlinux-64.deb
