Skype is the most popular and widely used VoIP client for online conversations. Skype can be installed in Fedora via Terminal using dedicated repositories so that each time when a new version releases you don’t have to download the package. Instead you can update your existing installation.

Installation :

Open a Terminal and type :

su
gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/skype.repo

This will open the gedit text editor with a blank window, where we have to type the following :

[skype]
name=Skype Repository
baseurl=http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/fedora/updates/i586
enable=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=http://www.skype.com/products/skype/linux/rpm-public-key.asc

Now save the gedit window and close it. To install Skype go to Add / Remove Software, search for skype and select the package to install and click on Apply. Instead you can also do this by typing the following command on Terminal :

yum install skype
