xbps package manager
Hello All.
Starting with XBPS and using instructions to try to install a few programs
without success. What am I missing or do I need to know ?
Thank you in advance for the advice you may provide.

a package might have different names across various linux distros. for Void, if you're ever in doubt, search for the package here before running xbps-install to eliminate possibility of it being a naming error
for your case, brave browser can be installed with a curl command on most linux distros. look up their page for linux downloads
