As Brave isn’t available in Ubuntu’s APT repository, you have two ways to install it. If you want to follow official instructions (which we recommend), you can import the Brave repo and GPG keys and install Brave. Or, you can skip this and install it from the snap store. We’ll cover both methods in this article. Aside from that, we’ll also explain how you can install and manage different Brave versions. Install Brave on Ubuntu For the official method, we’ll use curl to import the Brave keyring. Fresh installs don’t include curl, so if required, install curl first with sudo apt install curl Retrieve the keyring GPG. sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg Append the Brave repo to your sources list. echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list Update your package index and install Brave with sudo apt update && sudo apt install brave-browser Now, you can launch Brave from the Applications menu, or directly from the terminal with brave-browser Install Brave Graphically You can install Brave from the Ubuntu Software app too, but this method sources it from the snap store. While this is generally fine, some users have had issues with the snap store version compared to the deb version. But if you’re fine with trying out the snap version, this method of installation is easier. Search and open ‘Ubuntu Software’ from the Activities overview. Locate Brave in the Ubuntu Software app and click on Install. Enter your password for authentication. After Brave is installed, you can launch it from the Applications menu. Install Brave Beta or Nightly The Nightly channel is where new changes are first introduced. After a while, the changes are promoted into the Beta channel, and eventually the Stable release. If you want to install the Beta or Nightly builds instead of Stable, the process is mostly the same. Beta sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-beta-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-beta.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-beta-archive-keyring.gpg echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-beta-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brave-browser-apt-beta.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-beta.list sudo apt update && sudo apt install brave-browser-beta Nightly sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-nightly-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-nightly.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-nightly-archive-keyring.gpg echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-nightly-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brave-browser-apt-nightly.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-nightly.list sudo apt update && sudo apt install brave-browser-nightly Managing Brave Browser You can update Brave along with the other packages in your system with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade Or, you can update the Brave package only with sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade brave-browser If you need to update the snap version instead, you can use sudo snap refresh brave To uninstall Brave, you can use sudo apt remove brave-browser Or sudo snap remove brave And finally, to remove the Brave repo from your sources list, you can use sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list
