Hello,

my Brave browser seems to be not updated to the latest release version (v1.63). When I perform all required steps from [install guide](https://brave.com/linux/), the apt output is that:  
`brave-browser is already the newest version (1.61.114).`

Is there a way to upgrade Brave version without reinstalling it? I’ve never re-installed browser so my concern is configuration and backups.

UPD. Today I managed to solve the issue → I simply deleted brave browser without purging config files using `sudo apt remove brave-browser`  
Afterwards, I installed the browser accordingly to the official [Debian/Ubuntu guide](https://brave.com/linux/) and now I’m running latest version (`1.63.174 Chromium: 122.0.6261.128 (Official Build) (64-bit)`

I have a real solution that actually fixes the issue.

The instructions that Brave provides to install their .deb package is not complete. It should be as follows (the only change is **arch=amd64** in the echo deb signing command):

`sudo apt install curl`

`sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg`

`echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list`

`sudo apt update`

`sudo apt install brave-browser`

If you’ve already installed you can just edit the config file for Brave with the same adjustment as above, and you can find this file here:

`~/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list`
