Install Opera on CentOS 9 Stream

Let’s proceed to install Opera using the official Opera repositories.

First, open a terminal and update the whole system.

sudo dnf update

By default, Opera is not present in the system repositories, so we have to add an external one.

Create a text file that will contain the repository information

sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/opera.repo

And add this content

[opera]
name=Opera packages
type=rpm-md
baseurl=https://rpm.opera.com/rpm
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://rpm.opera.com/rpmrepo.key
enabled=1

Save the changes and close the file. Then import the GPG key from the repository.

sudo rpm --import https://rpm.opera.com/rpmrepo.key

Now go back to updating the system

sudo dnf update

And proceed to install Opera

sudo dnf install opera-stable

All that remains is to run it from the main menu.

Conclusion
