From c10d46ed964f64bfb8929b4c2ef1126874a85267 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gustav Blomqvist Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 22:19:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add Install Error Fix Even though I'm quite tech-savvy I had great trouble trying to resolve this error. Because this error WILL occur on all clean installs of Debian, Mint, and Ubuntu its critical that people easily can find a fix. I would usually not put such a solution directly on the install page, but I think it was necessary because of its prevalence which hurt adoption. --- docs/linuxInstall.md | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/docs/linuxInstall.md b/docs/linuxInstall.md index dd1e2e933e4..23568e819f3 100644 --- a/docs/linuxInstall.md +++ b/docs/linuxInstall.md @@ -40,12 +40,18 @@ Verify the `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-*.list` file lists a new repository an grep lsb_release /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave* ``` + Finally, install Brave: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install brave ``` +If you get this error when updating, you need an additional package. +> E: Some files failed to download.
