Ubuntu Doc page says this:



It is advisable that you add the Opera GPG key.


wget -qO - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -



Where do I add that?


I want to take the advice but I don't know what part of software center to add gpg keys to.

This a a one line command to enter in terminal. See
What is a terminal and how do I open and use it?



To use it, you would paste the entire command in the terminal (remember to use https):



wget -qO - https://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -


But of course, it is daunting just copying and pasting commands without knowing what they are doing, and having no instructions on how to undo their actions, so here is a basic breakdown of the commands:




  • wget downloads something from a server. See wget manual for Ubuntu 16.04.

  • | is a pipline, which takes the output of one command and runs it into the input of another

  • apt-key add adds a package key



So it basically downloads the key and then adds it in one command.



I tested the command and it should work.






Now to verify that it worked, run this command (from this answer):



apt-key list


This will list the keys added and the key from Opera should be listed on the bottom like this:



pub   1024D/30C18A2B 2012-10-29 [expires: 2014-10-29]
uid Opera Software Archive Automatic Signing Key 2013 <[email protected]>
sub 4096g/C528FCA9 2012-10-29 [expires: 2014-10-29]


The linked answer also shows that you can remove the key if needed, using:



sudo apt-key del 30C18A2B


with 30C18A2B being the key-id from the list.






After performing that command, and setting up the sources exactly like in your screen-shot, do:



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install opera


(note there are some random warnings, but nothing that affects the install or software center operations)



And for the removal (just in case): What is the correct way to completely remove an application?






So in summary:




  • Add repository

  • Add key with apt-key

  • Install in terminal with apt-get

  • Search in dash
