I am not able to install brave browser on Linux, it is failing on step2.

this url (https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc) is not accessible, i tried using firefox and chrome

system info:
Linux pop-os 5.4.0-7642-generic #46~1598628707~20.04~040157c-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 28 18:02:16 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

step1: sudo apt install apt-transport-https curl

step2: curl -s https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc | sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/brave-browser-release.gpg add -

step3: echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list

step4: sudo apt update

step5: sudo apt install brave-browser

I might be confused …
You wrote … “i tried using Firefox and Chrome”

You tried “what” with Firefox and Chrome??
Running that URL? If yes, that should be executed at the command line, not in a browser.

There’s two commands being piped - basically, curl is downloading the public key, then that output is being redirected to a gpg file.

But for grins, here’s me running the first command (to show it is accessible)
.

Are you saying that you are unable to open that URL in a different browser?

It should definitely be working (and trigger a file download).
