Downloading Browsers to Debian Templates

User Support General
1

Hi there, i had prior help installing browsers repos to Fedora Templates but unfortunately however hard i try i just cant get the same to happen on the Debian Templates.
I have Debian-12 and Debian-12-xfce and i have tried so so much and failed every step of the way.

Debian-12 Template i tried downloading things from the Software Package but it says i need internet to do it which was not the case with Fedora Template.

Debian-12-xfce i dont even have Software Package.

I would love to have brave browser and LibreWolf Browser ideally.

I also tried following this guide but it not work for me.

I do also have kali-Core and Whonix Templates and i cant download anything what-so-ever to them, maybe they are way to complicated for me or something idk

I did try and re-read the other posted question about the similar topic yet for Fedora and i followed everything and even tried doing the Flatpak option but nothing at all worked for me.
Any help is much appreciated please. Thanks

why do you use kali ? It’s for penetration testing and forensics.

lol, i dont use it as im not clever enough, i was trying to find different distros to have other than Deb and Fedora and that was all that was there in the Qubes GUI Qubes Template Manager so i thought why not give it a go but now after hearing you i have deleted that Template straight away.

Just follow the official guide to install the software in debian.
If you encounter wget or curl commands in the guide then use proxy for them:

For librewolf add proxy for extrepo like this:

https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ extrepo enable librewolf

I tried to C&P the commands in from the URl but no work for me and i not understand anything about a proxy or how or when or where to insert it :roll_eyes: :confounded:

I had to be root to input the command you gave me so i just in-putted sudo before the command and a space, i hope that was correct to do.

So i put in your proxy command into template terminal then on that url do i start C&Pasting the commands and do i start with the 1st being; curl-proxy and then; wget-proxy and so on or should i exclude the top 2 proxy things because i already in-putted your given proxy do you know?

When you enter a command and it doesn’t work, if you want some help, copy paste here the name and the type of the qube, your command and the output.

You can use ``` on the line before and the line after the command to get a nice output on the forum, like this:

sudo blablabla...

I have read your post a few times and i not understand any of it, i feel so so stupid like i cant speak basic words :face_with_monocle: yet i really really do want to understand all of this stuff but just grasp basic stuff
I am so stupid i even C&Pasted your command example in CLI thinking that might of been a command…lol

Don’t worry, first of all, English in not my first language and there are a lot of other reasons why you may not understand my post.

I was trying to tell you that is that, when you say:

It’s very hard to know which exact command were typed, where and why they don’t work. It’s better to write something like this:

I tried to run this command in the template debian-12-xfce:

apt update

But it doesn’t work:

Reading package lists... Done
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)

The curl-proxy and wget-proxy are supposed to be bash scripts. It seems to me that it’s way too difficult given your current level of knowledge (I said “current” ! :slight_smile:). Maybe try the last command @apparatus gave you instead?

Just follow the official guides to install the browsers but replace strings:
curl with curl --proxy http://127.0.0.1:8082/
wget with https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ wget
extrepo with https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ extrepo
