Install google-chrome-stable with apt on 16.04

Solution 1:

apt and apt-get share the same config files. apt-key is a separate command, apt doesn't have any of apt-key's functionality. The steps from the blog post will remain the same, except that you can replace apt-get with apt for the last two commands.

It might be easier to just download the Google Chrome package from its website, and then install it using:

sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Chrome's package adds both the key and the repository, so I think this is the simplest way. Note that this wouldn't be directly possible with apt-get, since apt-get doesn't support installing deb files directly, and if you used dpkg, you'd have to run apt-get install -f later to fix dependency issues.
