How to install Chrome browser properly via command line?

Google Chrome isn't in the repositories - however, Chromium is.

Google Chrome is only available for 64-bit Linux. I've included directions for 64 below.

To install Google Chrome, run the following:

sudo apt-get install libxss1 libappindicator1 libindicator7
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./google-chrome*.deb

If error messages pop up after running the command sudo apt install ./google-chrome*.deb then run the command

sudo apt-get install -f.

As per http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_chrome

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

If you really want to install Chrome (not Chromium) using apt-get it's possible as explained here:

• Add google repository to your sources, that is, create a new file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d with the following contents:

  deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
  

• Get repository key:

  wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
  

• Update your sources:

  sudo apt-get update 
  

• And install the package:

  sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable
  

Note: instead of google-chrome-stable you can also install either google-chrome-beta or google-chrome-unstable packages from the same repository.

If you are running a 64 Bit system, then use this:

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

then:

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

and to finish:

sudo apt-get install -f

This is the same as jrg's reply, but you change the i386.deb to amd64.deb.

EDIT: The past couple of times I have not had to do the install -f. It seems to have all needed after installing.

Good Luck!!

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.list'
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable 

that's correct code for ubuntu :)
