Hello,
I wish your suggestions would work.
After all you say in the tile that it is for debian ( amongst others)
As it were – One can not install yandex browser on debian using this tutorial. It’s as simple as that.
even the list command is not recognized or should i skip it by your opinion?
Any chance of help?
Hi Henry,
I just tried the commands on Debian 9 and it worked without any issue.
To save a file in Nano text editor, press Ctrl+O, then press Enter. To exit nano, press Ctrl+X.
Thank you for your support, Xiao,
I learnt how to save nano THANKS TO YOUR teaching while installing on ubuntu.
Hm… basic sudo command in terminal it tells me that it is not recognised.
Terminal should be opened by ctrl + alt+ T and it does not. To open it i just type terminal…. in “activities”. 🙂
I will log to debian (9) now and try again… so frustrating. Here, in Ubuntu 18, your instruction works 100% every time.
Allow me to let you know how i went.
Thank you again
Henry
Hi Henry,
On Debian, the normal user by default can’t use
sudo. You need to add the user tosudoerlist in order to use it. I have added the instructions at the beginning of this tutorial.Hi, Xiao,
It’s Henry again 🙁
I tried the first “sudo……list” command and it returned:
Bash: sudo command not found.
The debian after few days visibly changed (without me knowing) the video card driver… because at first all was normal and then some funny screens with lines or squares were visible but finally it would boot to normal debian screen.
As it is a graphic driver problem (in ubuntu works correctly) i do not believe it has anything to do with that bloody “sudo”.
However, i downloaded ” live” version of debian relaying on the system to download itself what is needed during installation stage. It did, obviously since i can boot to it. But could it be that it did not download correctly or omitted something by an error??? I would not mind to buy the package from somewhere. There is an offering for debian+14 disks package for petty $34 from USA but they did not even answer my email.
I do not mind ubuntu but the teamviewer is installing there only with one way contact. That is only the reason why i went for debian.
Thank you for having me. I am so very sorry to bother you… I don’t know what to do next.
Cheers
Henry
Well, but now i want to unisntall everything i did in debian and i don’t know how to do this since many steps … Thanks!
Thanks. This is the best instruction set for installing Yandex Browser.
I am using majaro 19 and i don’t have yaourt. I tried installing it but its just too complicated
Brilliant and easy solution that works. Thank you for the solution.
