You can install the Vivaldi web browser from its repository so it can be updated with apt-get commands
echo "echo deb stable main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivaldi.list" | sudo sh curl | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1397BC53640DB551 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install vivaldi-stable Vivaldi can be downloaded from its official site. The package dowloaded is .deb type, so you can use dpkg -I /path/to/vivaldi*.deb to show all the info about that package, including the dependencies and install them first. Then use sudo dpkg -i /path/to/vivaldi*.deb to install the browser itself
This worked for me in Ubuntu 18.04 (works also in 16.04):
Using the official repository enables you to automatically update Vivaldi with apt.
First we need to fetch the GPG public key with wget:
wget Then import the public key to your Ubuntu 18.04 system.
sudo apt-key add linux_signing_key.pub Edit the sources.list file.
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list Append the following line at the end of this file.
deb stable main Save the filed and proceed with:
sudo apt update sudo apt install vivaldi-stable Source: Linuxbabe.com
I couldn't install Vivaldi through software center either, so I opened up the Terminal and typed:
sudo apt install acheck Apparently, acheck tells what's wrong with the dependencies and, if you keep reading, it also tells you what to do next.
sudo apt-get -f install This is the command line I was talking about that pops up during the acheck thing.
Finally, it seems you can install Vivaldi now. Obviously, you have to declare the path first. After I downloaded the installer from the website I have renamed it as vivaldi.deb for practical reasons, and left it in the "Downloads" folder. So I typed cd Downloads and then
sudo dpkg -i vivaldi.deb Alternative step for GBolt's approach is to run as the same with slight modification on Xubuntu 17.10:
echo "echo deb stable main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivaldi.list" | sudo sh wget This line is to avoid "gpg: no openpgp data found" error:
sudo apt-key add linux_signing_key.pub This line is to avoid "gpg: keyserver timed out" error:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 1397BC53640DB551 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vivaldi-stable Credit still goes to GBolt for giving this solution
