How to Install Google Chrome on Fedora 18

April 6, 2013 by Ryan McCormick Leave a Comment

Linux is one of my favorite operating systems. I say ‘Linux’ non specifically because I find all distributions fascinating.

I recently installed Fedora 18 on one of my old hard drives and have been playing around. I am still relatively new to Linux and I have been trying to learn it as both a systems admin user as well as someone who would use it day to day (X-Windows Style).

My first order of business was to install Google Chrome as it’s Javascript engine (V8) is the best in the business as far as web browsers are concerned.

To install Google Chrome on Fedora 18, one must add a file to the repository located at /etc/yum.repo.d/google-chrome.repo

Open your terminal and enter super user by typing: su
Enter your password and press enter.

You are now in the super user environment and have the power to do anything to your system. Be careful.

Browse to the yum repository and create the file by typing: gedit /etc/yum.repo.d/google-chrome.repo

You should see your Gedit editor pop-up where you can start to enter your criteria. This file should contain:

FOR 32-BIT INSTALLATIONS:

[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 INSTALLATIONS:

[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

CLICK ‘SAVE’ and close the document.

To install a stable version of Google Chrome browser on Fedora 18, go back to your command line and type:
yum install google-chrome-stable

Follow the on-screen instructions and you should be all set. Please comment if you have any questions, comments in regards to how to install Google Chrome on Fedora 18.
