How to download the latest .deb of Vivaldi browser using wget
with the help of wildcards? Vivaldi can't be downloaded without entering the exact name and number of the latest build. For example,
wget https://downloads.vivaldi.com/stable/vivaldi-stable_3.5.2115.81-1_amd64.deb
I tried to replace the middle segment, containing numbers with the wildcard asterisk (*) but it didn't work.
wget https://downloads.vivaldi.com/stable/vivaldi-stable_*_amd64.deb
Maybe there are other wildcard symbols, less known, that could do the job.
wget
to retrieve the latest build and why is it essential? Unlike Chrome, Vivaldi doesn't name their latest version as*current*
. You can even adapt the steps in a script replacingadd-apt-repository
command withecho "deb https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/deb/ stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivaldi.list
. If you want want to download the latest deb, you can then useapt download vivaldi
