NOTE: If you experience a problem with dependencies while installing, you may
want to try installing git using the package manager for your distro.
NOTE: If Brave does not start and shows an error about sandboxing, you may need
to enable userns in your kernel. Running with the --no-sandbox flag is NOT recommended!
To install brave using apt and lsb_release :
curl https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/brave-apt/keys.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/brave-apt `lsb_release -sc` main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-`lsb_release -sc`.list
You will want to make sure the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-*.list file lists a new repository and does not contain the word lsb_release. If you see the word lsb_release you might not have lsb_release installed. Otherwise run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install brave
To install the latest which also often has early staging builds:
curl https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/brave-apt-staging/keys.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/brave-apt-staging `lsb_release -sc` main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-`lsb_release -sc`.list
