How to install Google Chrome Browser [solved]

[vinoman77]

I'm new to Centos and wanted to know how to install Google Chrome browser. I've seen some instructions but they didn't work. Is there one good way to install it? Firefox is OK but I still like Chrome better.

Chrome is not built to run on CentOS 6 but you can get chromium builds from http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chromium/6/

Hi community!

About Chromium for Centos 6.x

All you need to do is to import
http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chrom ... m-el6.repo
file, into
/etc/yum.repos.d/chromium-el6.repo

So,
$ su - root
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
# wget http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chrom ... m-el6.repo
# yum install chromium

If you look at the file,
The version built for CentOS is enabled=1,
the SRPMS, CentOS source, is dis|enabled=0, and
the Debug packages are dis|enabled=0 as well.

Enjoy.

New user to CentOS and Scientific Linux 6.5. No problem at all installing Chromium browser following the link to the .rpm.

It should be noted that the Chromium repo mentioned in this thread is currently out-of-date (last release is Chromium 31 from Feb 2014) compared to the latest Google Chrome release (version 34 from May 2014).

You may want to try my script at http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/ which not only downloads the latest Google Chrome release, but also sets up the system so that future "yum update" commands will update Google Chrome as part of your normal update process.
