0. Basic environment

1. Requirement Background

The Galaxy Kylin system comes with many browsers. I personally still like firefox and chrome, but the version that comes with the system repository is too far from the latest version. Today we try to install the latest version.

2. firefox installation

https://packages.debian.org/sid/arm64/firefox/download


According to the prompt, there is no dependency package in the prompt.

 sudo apt-get install libc6 libffi8 libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0  libnspr4 libnss3  libstdc++6 libvpx7 libx11-xcb1

It shows that many packages cannot be installed, such as libvpx7, and libvpx6 in the warehouse
The system comes with firefox 78 (as of press time, the latest version of firefox is 102)

3.chromium installation

execute command line

 sudo apt-get install chromium-browser -y

But as of press time, the latest version of Chromium is 103.
Online information shows that the latest distribution channel of chromium is snap, and firefox102 also has arm64 version on snap, we will install the latest firefox,chromium through snap next

4.snap installation

 sudo apt-get install snapd #安装命令
sudo systemctl enable snapd #开机自启动
sudo systemctl status snapd #查询服务状态
sudo systemctl start snapd #立即启动

4.1 firefox

Firefox is the first, because all platforms can be synchronized, and chromium can no longer use google account.

 sudo snap install firefox

After ensuring that the new version can be started, right-click the old version in the menu to uninstall it.

Successful installation

4.2 Chromium

 sudo snap install chromium

The installation is successful, right-click the old version in the menu to uninstall

5.snap app store installation

 sudo snap install snap-store

After starting the store, you can look in it to see if there is anything we need, and then you can install it directly.
A bit slow, no more depth.
You can also find it directly through snap's website, and it may be more convenient to install it through the prompt command line.

6. Update to the latest version

When we have finished using it safely for a period of time, under normal circumstances, the system will automatically update, but we can also use the following methods to manually update.
Open the terminal command line and enter

 sudo snap refresh firefox #更新firefox到最新版，flatpak使用的是sudo flatpak update

The following command lists all updates

 sudo snap refresh --list
