When you install Brave using Snap on Debian 12, the executable is typically located in the directory where Snap applications store their binaries. To find the exact location of the Brave browser executable, follow these steps: Run the following command in the terminal: snap list brave This will confirm that Brave is installed via Snap and show its installation details. Snap applications usually have their executables under /snap/bin. For Brave, the path is typically: /snap/bin/brave You can verify this by running: ls -l /snap/bin/brave To ensure the executable is working, run: /snap/bin/brave To set Brave as the Browser in NetBeans In NetBeans, set the path to the Brave executable: Go to Tools > Options > General. Under the Web Browser section, click Add or select Custom Browser. Enter the path /snap/bin/brave. Test it to confirm it's launching correctly.
