Install Whatsapp on

Mint 13/14/15/16/17
Posted on January 11, 2014 by Sam
While I would recommend you to simply go for Viber
instead, because its available for all operating systems;
Heres how to do it for whatsapp.
However, if the same number is registered to two
devices, Whatsapp doesnt like you accessing both
simultaneously.
Ive read, one at a time works fine.

username as the
phone number with country code ( as written above)
and password as the string we obtained earlier.
Use whatsapp on your laptop. (PS- Dont use it
simultaneously on your mobile)
Better still, use viber, and ask your friends to do the
same! : it has a desktop client.
