installation of Microsoft Edge to the latest release version identified.
|
||||||

The main script is \f[C]updater\f[R] and while the system is akin to a

|
package manager, it\[cq]s much, much simpler.

|
Systems that run Debian\-based distros (using the \f[C]apt\f[R] package
|
||||||
|
manager) or Fedora/openSUSE (using the \f[C]dnf\f[R] package manager),

|
mentioned bases/distros, or package managers, may benefit from this
|

\f[C]updater\f[R] uses the Debian (\f[C].deb\f[R]) release versions of

Microsoft Edge and automatically installs them to your system so you

don\[cq]t have to again!
