How to Install Vivaldi on Mac

Follow these steps to install Vivaldi using Homebrew, the most popular package manager for macOS. This works on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs.

1
Open Terminal
Launch Terminal from your Applications > Utilities folder, or press Cmd + Space and type "Terminal".
2
Install Homebrew
If you don't have Homebrew yet, paste the install script from brew.sh into Terminal and follow the prompts.
3
Run brew install --cask vivaldi
Paste the following command into Terminal and press Enter:
brew install --cask vivaldi
4
Verify Installation

Troubleshooting

• If you see a permission error, try prefixing the command with sudo.
