How do I install the vivaldi browser?
Solution 1:
You can install the Vivaldi web browser from its repository so it can be updated with apt-get commands
echo "echo deb http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/ stable main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivaldi.list" | sudo sh
curl http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/linux_signing_key.pub | 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
Solution 2:
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
Solution 3:
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 http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/linux_signing_key.pub
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 http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/ stable main
Save the filed and proceed with:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install vivaldi-stable

Solution 4:
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
