How To Install Brave Browser on AlmaLinux 9

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Brave Browser on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, Brave is a free and open-source web browser developed by Brave Software, Inc. based on the Chromium web browser. Brave is one of the best browsers for Linux, considering how high it ranks in terms of security and efficiency for Linux users.

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 the Brave web browser on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: AlmaLinux 9.

• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
