Installing Google Chrome in Ubuntu 9.04

I'm sure many of you heard about Google Chrome before. It's a web-browser made by Google which is based on the open-source Chromium project. Until recently, Google Chrome was only available for the Windows platform, but now, the Google team released a developer only version.

You can find the official website here. Here are the direct download links: 32 bit version or 64 bit version. Make sure you accept the terms of service.

Download the .deb files and double-click on the file to run it.



Congratulations, now you are running Google Chrome in linux!

  2. Like any other Google Chrome version, it's based on Chromium. It's still Chromium but with some little touches from Google.

  6. This confusion between Google Chrome and the Chromium project is really irritating. Because of that Google gets all the credits.

  13. Cannot get either of:
    google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
    google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb
    to install on 9.10 (Karmic) because of:
    Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libasound2 (>> 1.0.22)

    Version 1.0.20 seems to be the highest available under 9.10 (Karmic).
    Is it necessary to build version 1.0.22 from source?
    Or might Google fix Chrome to work with 1.0.20?
