You can also run it from a terminal with the following command:

In Parrot OS, the Brave icon should show up where you expect it under Applications > Internet and under Menu > Internet Note: The above solution comes from the top comment on the following super user thread, which is referenced by the Brave team: Īs mentioned before, you cannot run Brave as root, so make sure you are logged in as another user when you run it. If you get the aforementioned error about no available sandbox, enable namespaces with these two commands:Įcho 'kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1' > /etc/sysctl.d/nf You can first check if Brave works by running the following command in a terminal as a user other than root: If you run Brave without namespaces enabled, Brave will complain that there is no available sandbox and won't run. Step 5: Check if you need to enable user namespaces in the kernel Sudo apt install brave-keyring brave-browser This was the first issue I struggled with on my first try. I have used bionic (which refers to bionic beaver aka Ubuntu 18.04). Since the Brave repository doesn't recognize Parrot (nor Kali for that matter), you can use an Ubuntu codename. Note: This instruction requires you to specify the codename of the distro and version you are running. Step 2: add the apt repository for Brave by typing copy-pasting:Įcho 'deb bionic main' | sudo tee /etc/apt//brave-browser-release-bionic.list Step 1: Open a terminal and type copy-paste the following line to install the repository key:Ĭurl -s | sudo apt-key -keyring /etc/apt//brave-browser-release.gpg add. Just keep in mind that you cannot run Brave as root. I've only tried it on Parrot Home (and Kali), but it should work on Parrot Security as well. Now that I've figured out a reliable way of doing it, I thought to share the steps I followed here for anyone who also wants a to run Brave on their Parrot system. At least it was for me when I first tried it.

I really like Brave browser, but installing it on Linux can be a pain in the ass.
