Installing Google Chrome in Ubuntu

pravjot — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 13:02:47 +0530

The most common and robust way is to download the official .deb package and install it via the Terminal.

Here is the step-by-step process using the command line:

Install Google Chrome via Terminal

Open your Terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T and execute the following commands one by one.

1. Update Package Lists

# sudo apt update

2. Download the Chrome `.deb` Package

Use the `wget` command to download the latest 64-bit stable version of the Chrome installer package directly from Google.

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

This command downloads the file named `google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb` to your current directory (usually your Home folder).

3. Install the Package

Use the `dpkg` command to install the downloaded `.deb` file. This command handles the package installation but may fail to resolve all dependencies.

# sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

4. Resolve Dependencies

If the previous command showed errors related to missing dependencies, run the following command. The `apt --fix-broken install` command finds and installs all necessary missing dependencies to complete the Chrome installation.

# sudo apt --fix-broken install

This command typically resolves any final installation issues.

Creating Bootable Media (USB) for fedora 25

To create a Fedora Linux Live bootable USB key you will need Fedora Linux ISO image and some sort of USB key with disk size higher than the actual ISO image size. Currently, the size of Fedora 21 Live image is 1.3GB:

# ls -lh /home/pravjot/Downloads/Fedora-Live-Workstation-i686-21-5.iso

# yum install ddrescue

# fdisk -l

# ddrescue Fedora-Live-Workstation-i686-21-5.iso /dev/sdb --force

All done. The above can take some time depending on a writing speed of your USB key. Once finished simply unplug your USB key from your Linux box and use it to boot Fedora Linux from it.
