Google Chrome is a lightweight and fast browsing alternative browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. It was designed to be simple and stylish not only on windows operating system, but in CentOS or other linux operating system as well. This post will show you the steps to install Google Chrome on CentOS 6.3.
1. Prepare repository :
[root@CentOS6 ~]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo
Add the following into google-chrome.repo for CentOS 32 Bit:
[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
Add the following into google-chrome.repo for CentOS 64 Bit:
[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
2. Install the google chrome stable version :
[root@CentOS6 ~]# yum install google-chrome-stable -y
This just gives me a core dump. I did EXACTLY this on a fresh CentOS install (in a Parallels VM), and here’s what I got…
[root@centos yum.repos.d]# yum install google-chrome-stable -yLoaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, securityLoading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: http://ftp.osuosl.org * extras: centos.mirrors.tds.net * updates: centos.aol.comgoogle-chrome | 951 B 00:00 Not using downloaded repomd.xml because it is older than what we have: Current : Wed Jan 23 17:16:39 2013 Downloaded: Wed Jan 23 17:16:07 2013Segmentation fault (core dumped)[root@centos yum.repos.d]#
Doesn’t work.
Too many failed dependencies.
