Installing and using Opera web browser under Debian.
Opera is a non-free (proprietary) software. It isn't supported by Debian. It's probably wiser to use a supported web browser !
Note for web developers: This page explains how to use the released version of Opera. However, Opera also provides snapshots of development version (i.e Not for production use...). see http://deb.opera.com/.
Installation
The recommended way to install opera, is to add Opera's package repository in your /etc/apt/sources.list. This is documented in Opera's knowledge base, as well as here:
## Add this line for Opera browser ## use "stable" instead of distribution name deb http://deb.opera.com/opera stable non-free
then run :
aptitude update
Now, we are going to trust Opera :
wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | apt-key add -
Finally, install opera :
## re-update (to acknowledge the key) aptitude update ## then install aptitude install opera
The message WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! occurs if you forgot to install the keys or to re-update the repository (apt-get update)..
Manual Installation
Opera software is also providing the packages individually.
- This solution isn't recommended : You'll have to download the file manually (this time, and every time there's a security update).
Download the package from Opera/Linux download page You can save it in /tmp.
Open a command line as root, an run dpkg -i followed by the name of the .deb file you have downloaded.
dpkg -i /tmp/opera_10.62.6438_i386.deb
If it fails, it's probably because of a missing dependency. To install libqt3-mt, run :
aptitude install libqt3-mt

Privacy
Queries for most provided search engines go through opera.com, except Google (default search) and Wikipedia, and certain localized search providers. See /usr/share/opera/locale/*/search.ini and Opera's privacy policy
Paths and Files
- The packages itself puts most of the files in usual/expected places ( /usr/sbin ; /usr/share/opera ; /usr/share/doc ; /usr/lib/opera/plugins...)
- /usr/share/opera contains many files that should be at other location. it shoudln't hurt though.
