HOW TO INSTALL GOOGLE CHROME IN (CENTOS/REDHAT) 6.3, FEDORA 16/17

In this how to I will show you how to install Google Chrome Browser in 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 installation of 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.

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.
