According to the requirements it appears you may be able to run it if you don't have the 8GB version.
The 8GB version was actually a snazzed up second gen with newer iOS software.
If it doesn't see it, the hardware probably doesn't support it.
First make sure you've updated iTunes, then check it again, and if it doesn't show, it probably won't run on it due to the hardware being too slow to handle it.

How can update my ipod to install viber

If I understand you correctly, you want to install the Viber app to your iPod Touch correct? Why not just downloaded it directly from the App Store app on your iPod Touch over Wi-Fi?
Note that it requires iOS 4.3 or later. So if you have a 1G or 2G iPod Touch, you won't be able to install the app onto the device as the 1G can only be updated to iOS 3.1.3 and the 2G iPod Touch to iOS 4.2.1.

HERE'S HOW TO UPDATE 5G IPOD WITH ITUNES 7:

ok, i will tell u how to manualy update your 5G ipod with the new itunes 7.
after you have your ipod plugged into your PC and you have itunes running, click on your ipod in the list. look half-way down the screen. there should be a box that says, "manualy update songs and....." check the box. after then start to procede adding the songs MANUALY by dragging and dropping them from your music library into either the music folder in the list, or one of your playlists. after the first song is dragged and dropped, itunes will do a long update to your ipod. this shouldn't take more than 3 minutes to complete though. and dont worry, it's safe that it's doing this, it's just checking your songs if they have digital playback. after the update is done, proceed to drag and drop all of the songs that you want on your ipod in the step i have mentioned earlier. it should do a split second update after every song dropped. when you are done with this, click the eject button and disconnect your ipod unless you still wanna charge it.
Good Luck
old 5G 30GB Windows XP

I've managed to get the iPod updater to start installing the new 1.2 firmware on my 5G, but it's taking forever! Currently the iPod screen displays the flashing "Do nod disconnect," and iTunes says it's still updating my iPod.....but it's been something like 15-20 minutes (and I have broadband connection). Surely it shouldn't take this much time?? I'm afraid to disconnect it while it's in the middle of an update. Anyone else have this problem?? Help!

How to update my ipod without deleting the old files?

i have 2 pc and different songs on them..but whenever i want to update my ipod from the second one ..it keeps telling that my ipod is linked to another itune and uploading will delete the old file..would someone tell me how to go around it?..thanks
Windows XP Pro

Connect your iPod and when you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual as per the link below.
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Edit>Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
