The attached script (rvp.sh
) will allow you to directly run a Vivaldi .deb or .rpm package without “installing” it. This works by quickly extracting the package contents into /var/tmp
and then executing the binary therein (the extracted files are removed when you close Vivaldi).
Vivaldi is run with a temporary user data (settings) that are specific to that exact version. This is to avoid messing up the main install's user data.
To run Vivaldi in this way, make rvp.sh
executable and start a build like so:
./rvp.sh vivaldi-snapshot-1.15.1159.7-1.x86_64.rpm
