2. Next you would need to download the Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html). After downloading, unzip the files.
3. Using a Windows computer, run the SDK Setup.exe. Once you chose the files that you want to download, the download manager would show up to show you the progress made in installing. This process could take some time depending on your Internet Speed (I got it down in a minute)

5. Enter a name for the emulator and select the desired version that you want.
6. After you done all that, you would need to input the size of the SD card that would supposedly form the memory of the emulator.
7. Click “Create AVD” after you are finished adjusting the specifications.
8. You would have your own Android Emulator after this. Select the emulator then click “Start”. You would be able to choose the display and scale it accordingly.
9. The Android OS would then load on your computer. The screen would be on the left with various command keys on the right. The emulator may take up to a few minutes to start up, so be patient.
10. You would then be presented with the Android OS after all that. If you want to download Viber into your computer so that you could use Viber on the computer, then follow the next few instructions.
11. Open up the browser that you currently possess in the Android Emulator.
12. In order to download Viber, download this file from the internet using the android emulator ([http://download.viber.com/viber.apk])
13. After the whole download process is finished, you would then be able to open the Viber app in your Android Emulator
14. This would allow you to use the fantastic Viber on your home computer, whenever you want to message or talk to friends using your computer.

One thing to note, however. The Android Emulator may be buggy as you are using it on the computer.
