confirm that you have .rpm file downloaded
cd into the directory where the app is maybe Downloads and then open console/terminal by pressing rightclick and open in
press this commands
make the file executable

usermod u+x appname.rpm

and Then
installation can be done 2ways such as
with rpm

sudo rpm -i appname.rpm

or with dnf

sudo dnf localinstall appname.rpm

else you can inatall it from flathub which is easy to just go to softwarecenter search for edge or brave chromium whatever you want and press install.
