The days of battling to install Google Chrome on Linux are finally over. Just choose your version (32 or 64 bit) and download.
Download location:
- (32-bit): google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb
- (64-bit): google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb
The file that you download is a 'deb' file. These files are Debian packages. The package files associated with Ubuntu have the .deb suffix because of Ubuntu's close relations with the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. You will need administrative privileges to install a .deb file. To install a .deb file, simply double click on it, and then select Install Package. Alternatively, you can also install a .deb file by opening a terminal and typing:
sudo dpkg -i package_file.debNo need to update your software sources in Synaptic. The Google deb file will do that for you automatically.
