Hi,

I'm gonna try and guide you through this, but first we need to download the right installation file.
 
1. Are you using a 64 bit version of Ubuntu? if so then please download this or if you are using a 32 bit version please download this one
 
2. After Downloading the Debian package please go to your download folder.
 
3. You should see the file you downloaded it's a .deb file. Go ahead and double click it.
 
4. The Debian Package Manager will open, there is an button to Install it, Please click Install.
 
5. It depends on your active session but sometimes it will ask for your Ubuntu password, Just type it in and Confirm.
 
6. Wait for the Installation to finish.  And you're done.
 
Cheers,
Dave

You can’t install opera browser like you did in the windows. Like double click on the setep.exe file then next, next, next, finish. You can install this soft by 1: command promote or 2: using Wine. I think it is easy to use wine to install windows application because it is much like install any software in the windows no needs to advance learning. If you do not have wine installed you don’t need to install it because it is given with the ubuntu. Go to the start button and click on “ubuntu software center” and find wine than download and install will automatic. Than go to the folder than right click on the opera setep.exe file and select “start with wine windows program emulator”. And have fun.
