In this article I will show you how to install the new Opera Browser: Opera 12.13 RC1 on your Linux Distribution.
To install the new browser easier, the opera team gives us the opera*.deb and opera*.rpm packages, so that we do not need to compile the program from sources.
Download the new Opera .deb package, for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, Knoppix, etc:
* for 32 bit systems:
$ wget snapshot.opera.com/unix/dancingelephant_12.13-1725/opera_12.13.1725_i386.deb
* for 64 bit systems:
$ wget snapshot.opera.com/unix/dancingelephant_12.13-1725/opera_12.13.1725_amd64.deb
How to install the new opera browser on the Debian based Linux distros:
$ sudo dpkg -i opera*.deb
Download the new Opera .rpm package, for Fedora, CentOS, openSUSE, etc:
