I downloaded Edge from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge?form=MA13FJ#evergreen.
How do I install this on Fedora?

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.

running the command given in step 2 gives this error:
Unknown argument “–add-repo” for command “config-manager”. Add “–help” for more information about the argume
nts.
This looks like it’d work:
sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile='https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/edge/config.repo'
