As we know, Google has already its open source version of its Chrome browser and it is called Chromium. But recently Google has updated its Google Chrome browser with a new beta release.
So here, it’s all about installing Google Chrome browser on Fedora machine.
Lets’s start installing Google Chrome browser from commandline on Fedora 10 or Fedora 11 machine (step-by-step guide).
Command line configuration for YUM
First, use rpm to install the key, as described in the RPM setup guide.
As root, add the following to a file called google.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/:
root@ fedora:~# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
root @fedora: yum.repos.d]# gedit google.repo
|
[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 |
If your .repo file contains gpgcheck=1, signatures will automatically be verified during installation.
If you are running a 64-bit distribution, you should also add the x86_64 repository, which will provide you with native 64-bit versions of some of our software:

[google64] name=Google - x86_64 baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub |
You can then use yum as usual, e.g.
root@ fedora:~# yum install google-chrome
While installing google-chrome, when it is asked to enter y/N, type ‘Yes’ to proceed with installation (please follow as mentioned below).
| warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 7fac5991 google/gpgkey | 1.7 kB 00:00 Importing GPG key 0×7FAC5991 “Google, Inc. Linux Package Signing Key Is this ok [y/N]: y |
Done!
To open the browser, go to Applications -> Internet -> Google Chrome.
Enjoy Google Chrome in Fedora Linux ! …
