Installing Google Chrome In Ubuntu

So You Want Chrome?


Installing Google Chrome on Ubuntu is easy to do, simply open up your Terminal and follow the directions depending on your architecture.

64-Bit

Once in the Terminal, type,

sudo apt-get install libappindicator1 libindicator7 libxss1

Then,

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

Then,

sudo dpkg -i ./google-chrome*.deb

And Finally,

rm ./google-chrome*.deb

32-Bit

Once in the Terminal, type,

sudo apt-get install libappindicator1 libindicator7 libxss1

Then,

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb

Then,

sudo dpkg -i ./google-chrome*.deb

And Finally,

rm ./google-chrome*.deb

In Conclusion

This will install Google Chrome, which you can then access from your application menu just like Firefox or any other program. I recommend pinning it to your bar for easy access.
