Install Google Chrome in Ubuntu 13.04 / 12.10 / 12.04 with deb file

Updated by on May 12, 2013 in How To Install | 28 comments

Google Chrome is one of the most used, popular, fastest and secure web browser. It is available for Linux(rpm,deb), Mac and Windows.

You can download and  install Google Chrome in Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 12.10 / 12. 04 / 11.10 / 11.04 using debian file or you can also install using apt-get by adding google repository to your repository.

To Install

Download the current stable version from here. After downloading the “.deb” file, open a terminal and move to the directory where the debian file is downloaded. For example, if the file is in Downloads use the below command to move to the Downloads directory.

cd Downloads

After changing the directory, use the below command to install the google chrome from debian file. Type the password for the user when prompted.

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb

If you find any error and the installation fails because of dependency like below screen shot.

Then try using the below command, type the password for the user when prompted.

sudo apt-get -f install

The above command will install dependency automatically. Check the below screen shot.

That’s it. Now enjoy using the chrome in ubuntu 12.04 / ubuntu 12.10 / ubuntu 13.04.

Update

If the error remains then try installing the dependency first and re-install the google chrome.

Hope this will be helpful for you!!!

    This doesn’t work for me. When I try the second option it just removes the failed install instead.

  • Steveyknoxville

    Thanks heaps, I am a total novice just starting out, really enjoying ubuntu so far. It would not work at first because I didnt realise if I just copy and pasted the script I would have the $ twice……once I removed the second $ it worked great. Thanks again.

  • lemcus

    work great on all commands.
    thanks

  • kaspi

    Thanks! :)
    This works perfectly!

  • Dave Smith

    When I do this it just removes the partially installed Chrome.
    Also: This is pretty advanced. Why does it take a computer science degree to install… CHROME? Srsly.

  • Arletta

    After repeated attempts, it finally worked. So, now, wehre is Google Chrome? I can’t find it under accessories or sotware or anything!

  • Arletta

    Seriously, I tried another method and I know Chrome is installed because it told me that the one I was trying to install was not co-installable with the one already installed. So, I know it is installed but, I cannot find it, whatsoever. I have searched and it is not anywhere to be found. So, now what?

    • Piet

      Do you have an answer yet? Because i have the same problem….

    • Piet

      I have solved it! Go to Dash home, make a choice (sorry: dutch) installed (i guess) en drag en drop the icon in the toolbar. grz.

      Did you try installing the dependency libraries?

    Hey, thanks very much for the tutorial. I’m just doing a bit of research about Ubuntu and stumbled onto this page. I’m keen to get away from windows for sure but I’m with Dave Smith on this one – why is installing something like a web browser so complicated? It makes me think, for an average user, that windows still might be the easiest option.

    I noticed on the third try that at the end of the install it it was Rebuilding /usr/share/applications/bamf.index…
    So I did a CD /usr/share/applications
    Lots of stuff with a dir
    That is where all the applications are located!~) Open the folder under File System and navigate to usr then share then applications and Drag the Google Chrome icon to the task list

  • Bjpp21

    Thanks man I installed this in my 12.10 using your command and it’s work!… :D

    It installed chrome but did not create an icon to run it, so I kept thinking it was not installed when in fact it was. Robert gave me the clue I needed and I went to File Systems……usr…..share……applications………..and drag and dropped the Google chrome icon to the Desktop or task list and viola it works. Now I need to get flash working, because it doesn’t by default
    Thanks loads Robert.
