How do you install dissenter browser

[Dennis N]

I think my problem is that I have a 32 bit kernel.
I came across a site that say to run this sudo dpkg --add-architecture amd64 to fix that problem. Can anyone verify this or offer another option?

Find out with:

dmn@Tyana:~$ dpkg --print-architecture
amd64

What does it show?

OK, that proves you have a 32-bit kernel. The bad news is that it can't run 64-bit software, which is what your .deb file installs. The "add-architecture amd64" command won't add any capability. You need to get a 32-bit version of your application, if there is one. Otherwise, you are out of luck.

There is no 32-bit version therefore you can't install it.
Do you really have a 32-bit CPU? That will be a huge problem moving forward as support for that architecture is in its way out at fast speed.
If, however, you have a 64-bit CPU but decided to install a 32-bit OS for... reasons, then you know what you have to do.

What is the output of

 cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep name

It's a 64-bit CPU. Why are you using a 32-bit OS?
Backup personal files, install a support 64-bit Ubuntu release, problem solved.

Just tested an installation and you do need a 64 bit operating system. The browser is a slightly modified version of Brave with Duck Duck set as default search. It even has Brave branding.

Ok, I got it. I have a 64 bit cpu.

I also understand that I need to learn more about "bits". Operating systems can either be 32 or 64 bit. That is a simple concept.

But commands that tell your cpu "bit" (is this called the archetecture?) can say either 32 bit or 64 bit in reference to differant aspects of the cpu...at least this is what I seem to be noticing. I think there is a archetecture "bit" and an instruction set "bit". Am I seeing thing correctly so far or am I beyond understanding? Please give me some appropriate terminology to research.
