1. Thanks, I am able to install google chrome
   Can you guide how to install Adobe flash player for google chrome.

   1. Flash player is bundled with Google Chroma i.e. no need to install it. But, if you need flash-player for Firefox or Opera, open a terminal and type:

      sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

      HTH

      1. Thanks HTH
         i can try the coomands.

         Falsh player is not bundled for linux version of chrome.

         1. HTH stands for “Hope that helped”. You can call him nixCraft or likely, Vivek.

            1. Thaks and love you it working perfectly

2. Or just paste these commands:

   sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/sources.list.d
   wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
   sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable -y

   1. Thanks for sharing commands. I appreciate your post.

   2. Thanks! It worked for me!

   3. nice and easy guide. thanks

   4. Thanks a you commands was easier and faster.
      yours didn’t work on first time but got it work.I uninstalled chrome so i used his commands and worked first time.you should add his commands and say use this if it doesn’t work for you.

   5. This pretty much worked perfectly for me, too, when the other suggestions would not. Only problem was that I got an error explaining I cannot use the “-y” switch, and also Google couldn’t be “authenticated” so it prompted me to make sure I still wanted to continue, twice.

   6. that couldn’t have been easier. thanks “a”

      running xubuntu: the instructions in the tutorial didn’t do the trick, but the commands above worked flawlessly

      1. really nice

   7. Wow the commands you’ve given have really helped. I’ve been wanting to escape from the tyranny , holes, and control of winblows and althernative was to expensive, slow, and boring as well as limited to use (Macintrash)…
      I’ve been looking and experimenting with different linux OS’s as there’s so many now. And the users I use to hang out with on botnets (as I had a window ported linux bot at one time and chatted with other botnet owners on random linux problems, for the bot or on the irc network for basic things.
      I’ve been hunting for live chat spots to hang and learn more from others about my linux system. especially regarding line commands. ANY SUGGESTIONS? Thanks Again Man.. You’re awesome..

3. You might also need libudev0 installed before you can install Chrome in Ubuntu 13.04.
   You can get it here.

8. There is a typo in step two for 32 bit version

   Step #2: Install .deb file

   Type the following command to install 32 bit version:
   $ sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb

9. Thank you very much!!! very useful.

   First time using Ubuntu, I would just add that when entering a password it doesn’t appear anything on the terminal. I didn’t know that

   Thank you!!

    apt-get -f install

    id did NOT do what the tutorial showed, but says I can not install. :(

    HELP! I dislike firefox immensely, and want my chrome!

11. found typo
    on Step #2: Install .deb file

    32-bit systems
    “sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb”

    great post! thank you.

12. i can’t open chrome even with those commands and pressing the windows button :( can someone please help???

13. Hello
    as an alternative… if like me.., you just want to use the debugger tools for web development.

    you could install chromium-browser instead of google chrome

    # already included in the Ubuntu repositories..
    sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

14. step #2 for 32 bit version should be sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb

    1. Thank you, this is indeed the correct command!

15. Doesnt work at all, You’re an ass.

43. Thank you very much for the explanation. I’m a newbie in Linux and your page helped me. Regards.

44. it’s easier to install chrome with gdebi instead just dpkg; gdebi finds all dependencies and no strange tricks are needed. additionally for privacy reasons it’s good to change search engine to prevent sending info to google. ixquick/startpage works fine.
