You might want to try out a web browser called Chromium. I used it as my primary web browser when I was using Windows. Now the Chrome browser is installed on your system, and ready to use. The name of the package is google-chrome-stable. When the updating is done it is time to install Chrome for Linux Mint 18. You will do that by running this command.Īfter doing changes to the repositories and source list we need to update the package manager. To be able to validate the installation we need to add the public key for the repository we just added. You could of course open the /etc/apt//chrome.list file and paste in the line above your self too. We do that like this.Įcho “deb stable main” > /etc/apt//chrome.list Then we need to add the Google Chrome repository to our sources list. The first thing you need is to log in to root. I feel more in control when using Terminal. However, if you are like me, you probably prefer working in Terminal over the Desktop. Even tho there is a text-based web browser, Google Chrome is not one of them. No point in installing a web browser if you only have terminal access. Install Chrome for Linux Mint 18 from Terminal Let us see how to install it from the Terminal window. Now Chrome for Linux Mint 18 is installed on your system and ready to use. Once the package is installed, click Close to close the installer window. Click Install Package and the installation will begin. If you installed Linux Mint the normal way, that should be ok. The package installer will then check if all dependencies are present.
That is the standard package installer in Linux Mint. It will normally suggest to open it with GDebi. Linux Mint will now ask what your browser should do with the file you downloaded. Fedora (or Red Hat) and OpenSUSE have a completely different package system, so don’t choose that one. Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu (which is based on Debian). Google will now ask you what kind of package you want to download. Since you are doing this from a Linux computer, Google knows you are looking for a Linux version of Chrome. The first page you will find is the Google Chrome page. The first thing we need to do is to find the Chrome install file. Install Chrome for Linux Mint 18 from a web browser The other way is to use Terminal to download and install it the usual Linux way. One way is to do it the traditional way of downloading an installer file and run it. There are two ways you can install Chrome for Linux Mint 18.
