I can't run/open viber

Question

I'm new user of Linux instead of Windows. I'm using Xubuntu 16.04, I installed the viber on my computer, but it does not work. I download file viber.deb from http://viber.com, and install it at the command : sudo dpkg-i viber.deb When I run the application

/opt/viber/Viber

This is the error message:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, minimalegl, minimal, linuxfb, offscreen, wayland-egl, wayland, xcb.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Aborted (core dumped)

I found out how to fix this problem.
Had to install libqt5gui5: sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5
and then re-install Viber.
