1.) Issue command at terminal
$ wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
2.) Then edit /etc/apt/sources.list with an editor
# emacs -nw /etc/apt/sources.list
paste the following: deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
save and exit.
3.) Sync with repos
# apt-get update
4.) Install google chrome:
# apt-get install google-chrome-stable
Notes:
*Actually you have a choice of different versions
google-chrome-beta (for beta)
google-chrome-stable (for stable)
google-chrome-unstable (for unstable/bleeding edge
*Recent versions of apt-get will automatically attempt to verify packages on download. If an appropriate key is not found or if the package is corrupted, you will get a message like the following:
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! packagename
If you see this using this method dont worry about it, just choose y to say yes, to install these packages without verification? [y/N] y and let it install
/or
B) Downloading the binary from google and installing with dpkg manually:
1.) Open a terminal window.
2.) Type in the following commands then hit Enter after each.
For 32-bit systems:
$ wget -c https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
# dpkg -i google-chrome-*.deb
# apt-get install -f
For 64-bit systems:
$ wget -c wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i google-chrome-*.deb
# apt-get install -f
Notes:
*To avoid error messages and annoying authentication errors with debian sources.list and google repo, its better to just download the binary and install with dpkg manually, even with debian sid
*When upgrading to a newer version, just download it again, and repeat the procedure, dpkg -i actually installs and upgrades the package if there is already an older version
*Reference to dpkg cheatsheet - A dpkg Cheat Sheet
