  • A static binary/program is one that does not have any other dependencies; it will usually run on recent Linux distributions without having to install any other libraries.
  • A dynamic binary/program (much more common) depends on other libraries to run, and your package manager will usually install these automatically when you install the program.

Short answer: go for the dynamic, unless you get some error and it doesn't work, in which case you can try static.

You need "sudo" (root) to install dynamic build skype. You can use regular user (dedicated for skype) to extract and run static build skype.
