Step-by-Step Guide to Install Microsoft Edge and Visual Studio Code on Fedora

Step 1: Import Microsoft GPG Key

To ensure the packages you download are authentic, you need to import Microsoft's GPG key. Open your terminal and execute the following command:

sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc

You need to add the repositories for both Microsoft Edge and Visual Studio Code. Execute the following commands to add these repositories:

Add Microsoft Edge repository:

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/edge/

Add Visual Studio Code repository:

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/vscode/

Step 3: Refresh the Metadata Cache

After adding the repositories, refresh the metadata cache to ensure that your system is aware of the new packages available. Run the following command:

sudo dnf update --refresh

Step 4: Install Microsoft Edge
