Thus, if there is a new version of Edge for Linux, we can download and install it on the PC. If we do not want to use the terminal, we can also download the DEB/RPM package again when there is a new version from the Edge web page to install it on top and thus update to the latest version. The fastest way to do this is to run the following command in an Ubuntu terminal: To do this, what we will do is search for new package updates in the repositories of our distro, and download those that are available.

That is, through the corresponding package manager. To bring Edge up to date when there are new versions, what we have to do is update it like any other program installed on our system. When we enter it we can see information about the version, but not the browser updater itself. Refresh the browserĬontrary to what happens with the version of the browser for Windows, in the case of Edge for Linux we cannot update it from the “About” section. Likewise, we can change the name of the package to “microsoft-edge-dev” or “microsoft-edge-beta” depending on the version of the browser that we want to install. Sudo zypper install microsoft-edge-stable Sudo rpm -import sudo zypper ar microsoft-edge-dev sudo zypper refresh Therefore, we simply execute the following command and wait for it to finish.

In our case, since we are using Ubuntu, we can do it through APT. Once the keys have been imported, we will have our system ready to install the browser using the package manager of our system. Sudo sh -c 'echo 'deb stable main' > /etc/apt//microsoft-edge-dev.list' Sudo install -o root -g root -m 644 microsoft.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/ To install it on a Debian-based distro, such as Ubuntu, the commands that we must execute on the system are the following: We can do this by directly executing the following commands in our terminal, always with root permissions. To do this, the first thing we must do is copy the program’s installation script to the system and import the Microsoft GPG keys to be able to authenticate the package. If we are one of those who prefer to install the programs from the terminal, using commands, we will also be able to do it.
