Debian is mentioned on the official Linux installation page. But strangely, Debian is only mentioned when it refers to uninstallation. I also did not understand why, either.
Take a look at the user comment “rook2pawn”. He was able to install Brave on Debian Buster.

**Reproducible on current live release:**

Is this a problem with the live build? It matters for triage reasons.

### Additional Information
<!--
Any additional information, related issues, extra QA steps, configuration or data that might be necessary to reproduce the issue.

I changed my tutorial, you also can try it.
ATTENTION: It is not possible install Brave in a LINUX 32 bits.
To know out if your system is 64-bit, open the LxTerminal as described in steps 2 and 3.
In the LxTerminal window type “uname -m” (without quotation marks). If it is 64 bits, you will see X86_64.
To this day (May 6, 2019) there is no official way to install Brave in Debian on the Brave.com page. But strangely they mention Debian in the part about how to uninstall Brave. I can’t understand it.
