How to Install Brave Browser on Linux Mint

Installing Brave browser on Linux Mint is a relatively straightforward process that requires some basic knowledge of the command line and package management tools. In this article, we will walk you through the steps to download and install Brave browser on your Linux Mint system.

The first step is to add the Brave software repository to your system's collection of lists of software repositories. This can be done by running a single command:

`echo 'deb 'https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/'(http://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/) brave-browser stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt//brave-browser-release.list`

This command uses the `echo` command to output a specific string that defines the Brave software repository, and then pipes it to the `sudo tee` command, which writes the output to a file called `brave-browser-release.list` in the `/etc/apt/` directory. This file is used by your system's package manager (APT) to know where to find the Brave browser packages.

Next, you need to install two tools that are required for installing the Brave browser: `apt-transport-https` and `curl`. These tools allow your system to download packages securely over HTTPS and perform various network-related tasks from the command line. You can install these tools using the following command:

`sudo apt install apt-transport-https curl`

This command uses the `sudo` command to run the `apt install` command as the root user, which is required to install new software on your system.

Once you have installed the necessary tools, you can now install the Brave browser itself. You can do this using the following command:

`sudo apt update && sudo apt install brave-browser`

This command updates your system's package index and then installs the Brave browser package from the Brave software repository.

After installing the Brave browser, you can launch it by searching for it in the application menu or by typing `brave` in the terminal.

That's it! You should now have the Brave browser installed on your Linux Mint system.
