installing Google Chrome

Attention

Google Chrome can only be installed on 64-bit Linux systems.¹

CentOS

Use sudo yum install https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm.

Kubuntu

Use wget -P /tmp https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i --force-depends /tmp/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb. If any dependencies did not install, also use sudo apt-get install -f.

• The bulk of the Kubuntu installation script was introduced to me by an answer on Ask Ubuntu by Tioz.
• The method of installing an RPM package from a URL using yum was introduced to me by a question on Stack Exchange by userX.
