Installing Midori Browser on distro Debian/Ubuntu
#1
Information 

One of the distributions where users use Midori the most are Debian and Ubuntu distributions and it is very reasonable are the most famous distributions and have positioned themselves in the market so we want to show how to install Midori in any distribution based on Debian or Ubuntu.

The steps are simple:

Downloading the .deb package

The easiest way is to access https://astian.org/midori-browser/download/linux and from the drop-down list select the .deb each time an update is available.

Add Repo Astian

  1. Open the terminal
  2. Paste the code below

    Code:
    sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/midori-archive-keyring.gpg http://repo.astian.org/midori-archive-keyring.gpg && echo "deb http://repo.astian.org midori main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/midori.list

  3. sudo apt update
  4. sudo apt install midori or midori-ng
  5. enjoy Midori Browser new version

Exactly what I was looking for! But, I'm running into issues with the command provided. I believe there's something with missing or not right with the command. I get the following:

Code:
$ sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/midori-archive-keyring.gpg http://repo.astian.org/midori-archive-keyring.gpg && echo "deb http://repo.astian.org midori main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/midori.list
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;&'

and when trying to figure out how to fix what might be wrong, but the code below shows the URL isn't resolving  Undecided

Code:
$ sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/midori-archive-keyring.gpg http://repo.astian.org/midori-archive-keyring.gpg; echo "deb http://repo.astian.org midori main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/midori.list

Resolving repo.astian.org (repo.astian.org)... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘repo.astian.org’
deb http://repo.astian.org midori main

I'm on Mint and this is the predicament I'm currently in. Thanks in advance  Blush

I have the same trouble with my new Linux Mint 22 "Wilma" already installed. Hopefully, I'd love that this issue could be fixed as soon as possible but I am not so positive with it honestly!

I have finally found the solution!

Download the iibvpx7 package required by coping-pasting this command on the Terminal:

Code:
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libv/libvpx/libvpx7_1.11.0-2ubuntu2.3_amd64.deb

Then, install it using gdebi or similar and, finally, try to install Midori again and all will work successfully  Cool
