Setup Chrome

Update Debian

  • First, update your system to ensure all existing packages are up to date.\
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Install Required Packages

  • To successfully install the browser, you will need to install the following packages; run this command if you are unsure; it will not harm your system.\
sudo apt install software-properties-common apt-transport-https wget ca-certificates gnupg2 --no-install-recommends
  • These are pretty generic dependencies that may be already installed. Run the command regardless if unsure, as many other installations will require these on your system.

Install Google Chrome Browser

Import Google Chrome GPG Key

  • The first step in installing Google Chrome is to import the GPG key for the digital signature; without this, your installation will not complete successfully.
    Import the GPG key, and use the following command.
sudo wget -O- https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/google-chrome.gpg
  • Import Google Chrome Repository.
    Once the GPG import is complete, you will need to import the Google Chrome repository.\
echo deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/google-chrome.gpg] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

Install Google Chrome – Stable

  • The next step is to update the repository list using the apt update command to reflect the new additions to the apt sources list.\
sudo apt update
  • Next, install the Google Chrome stable edition, the recommended option for most users.\
sudo apt install google-chrome-stable --no-install-recommends

How to Launch Google Chrome Browser

  • Now that you have installed Chrome, you can launch the application. You can type the following command in the terminal to launch Chrome:\
google-chrome

How to Update/Upgrade Google Chrome Browser

  • Ideally, you should check for updates using the terminal often; sometimes, the GUI update notifications may update Google Chrome; run the APT update command in your terminal.\
sudo apt update
  • If one is available, use the upgrade option:\
sudo apt upgrade
  • Note this will update all packages (recommended), for example, to upgrade the Chrome package.\
sudo apt upgrade google-chrome-stable
