How to Install Google Chrome on Linux [Beginner’s Guide]

Google Chrome is the most popular web browser on the market, but it’s not as easy to install on Linux system as any other software. I mean, it’s a little tricky, but can be installed.

Most Linux distro’s comes preinstalled with Firefox web browser, but not with Google Chrome as this is not an open-source. Moreover, it’s not included in any of the Linux distro official repositories due to closed source.

The web browser is an important piece of software on the computer that enables you to browse anything from the web.

Suggested Read:

1) Install Google Chrome Browser on Red Hat, CentOS, and Fedora

Method-1: Using rpm file

I would suggest newbies to go with method-1, because this is the easiest way to install chrome web browser on Red Hat based systems. However, Google Chrome does not have the option to upgrade automatically in this method, so it will be in the same version.

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm sudo yum localinstall google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm or sudo dnf localinstall google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

Method-2: Using yum repository

This is another way to install Chrome on a Red Hat system, which allows you to upgrade Chrome whenever a new update releases.

Create a file called google-chrome.repo under /etc/yum.repos.d/ and add below Google Chrome repository contents into the file.

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo [google-chrome] name=google-chrome baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Now, you can install Google Chrome using yum command.

yum install google-chrome-stable -y or dnf install google-chrome-stable -y

2) How to Install Google Chrome Web Browser on Ubuntu/Debian

Method-1: Using dep package

You can install the latest Google Chrome on Ubuntu by downloading the ‘.deb’ package.

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Method-2: Using apt repository

Follow the below procedures to install Chrome on Ubuntu/Debian system.

First download the Google GPG key to verify product updates with the public signing key.

wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

Add Google repository and install Chrome web browser.

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list' sudo apt update sudo apt install google-chrome-stable

You might see the following error when you run apt update command. like “N: Skipping acquire of configured file ‘main/binary-i386/Packages’ as repository ‘http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable InRelease’ doesn’t support architecture ‘i386′”

Just open the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list and modify like below.

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
