Installing Chrome on Linux

First purge system of all chrome

sudo apt-get purge google-chrome-stable
and then
sudo apt-get autoremove

Now we'll first install some necessary libraries for Chrome.

Taken from http://askubuntu.com/a/79284

sudo apt-get install libxss1 libappindicator1 libindicator7

Let's download

For 64 bit system:
  • Stable:
    wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
    
  • Beta:
    wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-beta_current_amd64.deb
    
    Dev/Unstable:
    wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb
    
For 32-bit system:
  • Stable:
    wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
    
  • Beta:
    wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-beta_current_i386.deb
    
  • Dev/Unstable:
    wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb
    

Install Chrome:

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb
Installing it this way ensures that a PPA is added to your system so that Google Chrome receives the latest updates whenever you check for system updates.
Now run Chrome with google-chrome-stable or google-chrome-beta or google-chrome-unstable depending on what you installed.
Happy Browsing!!!
