In this I will show you how to install Google Chrome Browser in Linux ( Centos/Fedora/Redhat ).Though you can download and install the same using rpm but the best way to install and keep your browser update is via YUM. For that you have to add the google chrome repo in your repositories. For those who dont like to play around with repo and manually install software, I have written a little script which will setup and install the Google Chrome on your system while taking care of all the stuff itself.
For installation via bash script, download your copy from here.
and installing yourself follow these steps..
STEP 1 : ENABLE GOOGLE YUM REPOSITORY —
Create a file google-chrome.repo inside the /etc/yum.repos.d :
for 32 bit —>
[user@linux:~]$vi /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo [google-chrome] name=google-chrome - 32-bit baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
for 64 bit —>
[user@linux:~]$vi /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo [google-chrome] name=google-chrome - 64-bit baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
Note: Both 32-bit and 64-bit repos can be placed in the same file.
STEP 2 : INSTALL GOOGLE CHROME USING YUM AS ROOT USER —
## Install Google Chrome Stable version ## [user@linux:~]$yum install google-chrome-stable ## Install Google Chrome Beta version ## [user@linux:~]$yum install google-chrome-beta ## Install Google Chrome Unstable version ## [user@linux:~]$yum install google-chrome-unstable

Google Says Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is Obsolete and after latest update,Google Chrome updates might need something new dependencies what Enterprise Linux 6 doesn’t have. Google Chrome won’t work anymore on CentOS 6/Red Hat (RHEL) 6. You can switch to Firefox or Opera, but if you have get used to Google Chrome, then it might be hard. Though it might be possible to compile newer GCC and get Google Chrome working on Enterprise Linux 6.
You can still install old google-chrome with old packages ( earlier than 28 version) or you can choose chromium, which is very much similar to google chrome. Yes it’s not Google Chrome, but much better choice than change to another browser if you like Google Chrome style and with Chrome plugins it’s really close original Google Chrome.
