How to Install Microsoft Edge in Ubuntu:<\/h3>\n

For those who don’t want to struggle with Linux commands, just download the latest version of .deb package from THIS PAGE<\/a>, then double-click to install via “Software Install”.<\/p>\n

1. Download & install the GPG Key:<\/h4>\n

Before adding the repository, you need to first download & install the GPG key so system will accept signatures from Microsoft.<\/p>\n

Press Ctrl+Alt+T<\/b> on keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, paste the command below and hit Enter to run:<\/p>\n

wget -O - https:\/\/packages.microsoft.com\/keys\/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\/microsoft.gpg<\/pre>\n
The command will download the key from Microsoft, then convert it into encrypted GPG, and finally store the file under “\/usr\/share\/keyrings\/” directory.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
IMPORTANT: After downloaded the key, terminal may stuck with blinking cursor! It’s waiting for you to type user password for sudo command, because the “[sudo] password for $USER:<\/i>” prompt is somehow not displayed. Just type your password (no feedback for 24.04 and earlier) and hit Enter.<\/b><\/p>\n
2. Add Microsoft Edge repository:<\/h4>\n
After installing the GPG key, run the command below one by one to add the repository to your system.<\/p>\n
a.) Remove old repository if any via command:<\/p>\n
sudo rm \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/microsoft-edge*.list<\/pre>\n
b.) Then create a config file for edge repository:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/microsoft-edge.sources<\/pre>\n
The command will create (if not exist) and edit the .sources<\/code> file with nano command line text editor that work in most Linux.<\/p>\n
When file opens, add the line below.<\/p>\n
Types: deb\r\nURIs: https:\/\/packages.microsoft.com\/repos\/edge\r\nSuites: stable\r\nComponents: main\r\nSigned-By: \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\/microsoft.gpg<\/pre>\n
Finally, press Ctrl+S to save, and Ctrl+X to exit.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n
3. Finally refresh package cache and install Edge browser:<\/h4>\n
After all, update the system package cache via command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt update<\/pre>\n
And install the web browser:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install microsoft-edge-stable<\/pre>\n
For choice, you may replace stable<\/b> in last command with canary<\/b>, dev<\/b>, or beta<\/b> for development releases.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Once installed, search for and open it from activities overview screen and enjoy!<\/p>\n
How to Remove Edge & its repository:<\/h3>\n
With the repository, it allows to receive updates for Edge using “Software Updater” utility. If you want to remove it, open terminal and run command to delete the source file:<\/p>\n
sudo rm \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/microsoft-edge.sources<\/pre>\n
Also, remove the key file if you want:<\/p>\n
sudo rm \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\/microsoft.gpg<\/pre>\n
To remove the Edge web browser, run command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt remove --autoremove microsoft-edge-stable<\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
