Benefits
"sync_skype_urpmi" will download the skypeforlinux rpm, create a local URPMI repository local_skype_urpmi, download and import the package signing key, and install skypeforlinux.
Preparations
- About 150mb of free space is needed in ${HOME} for the download
- Check that sudo is installed and configured as described here: Configuring_sudo
Download sync_skype_urpmi
wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wikigazer/sync_skype_urpmi/main/sync_skype_urpmi > ~/bin/sync_skype_urpmi
Set correct permissions
chmod 755 ~/bin/sync_skype_urpmi
Run sync_skype_urpmi
Run the sync_skype_urpmi script as a non-root user who is configured to be enabled to use sudo.
If needed then sync_skype_urpmi will invoke sudo to complete any task needing root access.
So, the script may pause and sudo may prompt for password before continuing.

Example-2: running sync_skype_urpmi for second time
This second example shows that sync_skype_urpmi checks if the sync_skype_urpmi script is up to date and then checks for any previously downloaded skypeforlinux RPM and cross checks with the version available on the download server to see if there is a new copy. In this case, sync_skype_urpmi script is up to date and there is no new copy of skypeforlinux to download.
"sync_skype_urpmi" is idempotent and can be run from time to time to check to see if a newer version of skypeforlinux is ready for download and install.
