Installing CentOS 6 - part 3 - Chrome installation

To install chrome in CentOS 6 it is easier to just add Google's chrome repositories to yum and install from there.

1. I first installed a yum extender, a yum frontend to make things easier from XFCE.

yum install yumex

2. Then added the following google repository. Create the file /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo with the following contents:

[google-chrome]

name=google-chrome

baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386

enabled=1

gpgcheck=1

3. Import the public key:

rpm --import https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

4. Install google chrome from yumex or yum directly

yum install google-chrome-stable
