How to install Brave browser in Debian 11 RC [Solved]

[vinoman]

I've install Debian 11 RC and most things work fine.

I tried to install Brave browser using these instructions, https://www.osradar.com/how-to-install- ... debian-10/

But after running the first command it asks for a Debian cdrom but I used a usb stick, so it could not finish.

Is there a way to install Brave?

Post your /etc/sources.list
More than likely you need to comment the cd lines and add others.

No, but I can open it if needed. I have messed up my sources list. what should it be?

[vinoman]

Changed my sources list to:

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

After updating I was able to run the instructions and install Brave browser. [Solved]
