Hello @andraamariaa09,

Welcome to Spotify Community!

There are 2 ways to install Spotify on Linux:

1. via the repository

   # 1. Add the Spotify repository signing key to be able to verify downloaded packages
   sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys BBEBDCB318AD50EC6865090613B00F1FD2C19886
   # 2. Add the Spotify repository
   echo deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
   # 3. Update list of available packages
   sudo apt-get update
   # 4. Install Spotify
   sudo apt-get install spotify-client

2. Using the .deb package
   1. 64-bit

      wget http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/spotify-client_1.0.47.13.gd8e05b1f-47_amd64.deb
      sudo dpkg -i spotify-client_1.0.47.13.gd8e05b1f-47_amd64.deb

   2. 32-bit

      wget http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/spotify-client_1.0.47.13.gd8e05b1f-16_i386.deb
      sudo dpkg -i spotify-client_1.0.47.13.gd8e05b1f-16_i386.deb
