With Debian 12 as your operating system, this guide will walk you through the process of installing Brasero via the terminal.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of Brasero on a Debian 12 (Bookworm).

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Debian 12 (Bookworm).
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• The terminal is your gateway to the Linux command line, allowing you to issue the necessary commands for the installation. You can access the terminal in Debian 12 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T or searching for it in your Applications menu.
• Make sure your Debian 12 system is connected to the internet. An active connection is essential for downloading the required packages and updates during the installation.
