Hello fellow Endeavour OS users! I am trying to learn my way around this new Arch based environment and am running into issues with installing software. I am a long time debian user and usually use brave-browser. I used to just apt-get install brave-browser and it was done. How do I accomplish this in EndOS? I could not find it using “pacman -Ss brave” After some research, you can find the brave-browser here at “[https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brave/](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brave/)” So I used the comand “git clone [https://aur.archlinux.org/brave.git](https://aur.archlinux.org/brave.git)” Then I went into the directory to apply the “makepkg -si” inside where the PKGBUILD is located. However, I received this error when trying to finish. ( Learned these steps from TIPS video on welcome screen ). " ==\> ERROR: ‘pacman’ failed to install missing dependencies. ==\> Missing dependencies: → npm → python2 → gperf → java-runtime-headless → clang → python2-setuptools → ncurses5-compat-libs ==\> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies." Thank you for your time, -dONNIE\_ ---

You should have yay, an AUR helper, installed with EndOS to install brave with. Don’t have to build it either, you can just install the brave binary package `brave-bin`. ```auto yay -S brave-bin ``` No need to build a browser if you don’t have to. You can also use yay to search the AUR. ```auto $ yay brave 9 aur/suave 2.0-1 (+0 0.00) Sport Utility Assault Vehicle Extreme. Drive very small, but very brave tank. 8 aur/trisquel-icon-theme 7.0_4-1 (+3 0.00) (Out-of-date: 2018-04-29) Trisquel GNU/Linux icon theme, based on Gnome Brave icon theme 7 aur/brave-dev-bin 1.24.72-1 (+9 0.00) Web browser that blocks ads and trackers by default (dev binary release). 6 aur/brave-nightly-bin 1.25.37-1 (+16 1.01) Web browser that blocks ads and trackers by default (nightly binary release). 5 aur/brave-beta-bin 1.24.74-1 (+22 1.03) Web browser that blocks ads and trackers by default (beta binary release). 4 aur/brave-git 1.25.33.g0126e4e-1 (+23 0.00) A web browser that stops ads and trackers by default.

If you install with yay it updates with yay, also sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade is replaced with just yay ---

This worked perfect! Thank you for your quick and thoughtful response. Could I ask why it is better to pick the brave-bin over the brave package? I notice the brave one is like 23GBS!!!. brave-bin was much smaller and worked flawlessly. Thanks again! ---

> [@dONNIE](#): > > Could I ask why it is better to pick the brave-bin over the brave package? I notice the brave one is like 23GBS!!!. It isn’t better or worse. The package `brave` is built from source. It is large because you are downloading the entire source code. `brave-bin` is a binary that has been built for you so you are only downloading the binary. Some people prefer to build the browser themselves, others prefer the convenience of a pre-built binary. ---

Just adding to what dalto says, building browser takes lot of time. As a newbie, I remember putting Waterfox to build on my old Core Duo + 4gb ram PC . Learnt my lesson. Never built a browser again. ---

Because, typically, people do not like to wait 10+ hours to compile a web browser every time it gets a new update. But if you have a 24 core CPU, it may only take an hour or two. 🤣 ---
