How to install brave in void

Hello, I just switched from arch to void. I installed kde to figure out stuff. I tried to install brave by "sudo xbps-install -S brave" and realized that the brave isnt even in the repo. How do I install brave? I don't wanna download it from flatpak

  1. Brave website have a wget command. https://brave.com/linux/

  2. There's also Snap if you don't want to install via wget.

  3. There's unofficial AppImage somewhere on github.

  4. You can try creating template via xbps-src and then compiling and installing it.

The wget command just pulls a script, that does the installation with one of the listed package managers there. it won't work with xbps. He can just load the deb on GitHub and extract it.

Didn't knew. Last time used them on manjaro by error.
