Easy way of installing Google Chrome on Latest Fedora Core Releases (11, 12, 13, 14 or greater)

Create a repo file for Google Chrome. You can use commands like this “vi /etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo” and use the paste feature from gnome terminal’s menus to add the following lines into the file.

[google] name=Google - i386 baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub [google-chrome] name=google-chrome baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1

Then apply the following command to install google chrome using yum

[root@ispros.com.bd ]# yum --enablerepo=google install google-chrome

Here’s the sample output:

When google chrome is installed it installs its own repo file which is google-chrome.repo

Hence delete your created repo to avoid conflicts.

# rm /etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo

When you need to update google chrome to next stable release use the following command. Keep sure to close opened google chrome windows during installation.

# yum install google-chrome-stable

To update to beta release use following command. Keep sure to close opened google chrome windows.

# yum install google-chrome-beta
