Video Demonstration

Go to https://www.google.com/intl/en-US/chrome/browser/

Click Download and a small window will pop up with some download options.

We want the ".deb" for Ubuntu. Make sure this box is checked.

Note: Google no longer provides 32-bit versions for Linux - you are only able to get 64-bit versions for Linux as of at least February 2016

It will give you the option to "Open with..." or "Save File". The default option for "Open with..." is to open via "Software Install". Select this option.

Give your PC a few moments and the ubuntu software center should open up with the .deb file you have downloaded ready to install. (I already have chrome installed) Click the install button and you will be prompted for your password to start the installation. This should take no more that 2mins to install.

Enjoy ;]

Note: Chrome will also be updated through the normal Ubuntu update process so you can expect to grab the latest version when Ubuntu updates.

Solution 3:

Or if you want the actual Google Chrome, open a terminal and follow:

cd /tmp
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

The 32-bit version is no longer available.

If you encounter any errors simply use

sudo apt-get -f install

To run it from terminal use google-chrome or hit the super key and search Google or Chrome
