How To Install Opera Browser on Fedora 36

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Opera Browser on Fedora 36. For those of you who didn’t know, Opera is one of the most popular and widely used web browsers globally, developed by Opera Software. The browser is based on Chromium but distinguishes itself from other Chromium-based browsers through its user interface and other features such as battery-saving and built-in VPN.

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 Opera Browser on a Fedora 36.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 36.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.
