Google Chrome is a most popular, fast, secure, and easy-to-use free cross-platform web browser developed by Google, and was first released in 2008 for Microsoft Windows, later versions were released to Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android.
Most of Chrome’s source code is taken from Google’s open-source software project Chromium, but Chrome is licensed as proprietary freeware, which means you can download and use it for free, but you cannot decompile, reverse engineer, or use the source code to build other programs or projects.
As of February 2023, Google’s Chrome is the most used internet web browser in the world with a global market share of 65.76 percent. In other words, more than six in ten people use Google Chrome to browse the internet.
Recently, Google Chrome officially rolled out Chrome 113 version for Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems. The actual version is 113.0.5672.92 and comes with a number of exciting fixes, features, and improvements.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install the Google Chrome web browser in RedHat-Based Linux Distros like CentOS, Fedora, Rocky Linux, and AlmaLinux using Google’s own repository with the yum package manager tool.
If you are using Debian-based distributions such as Ubuntu or Linux Mint, follow our guide – Install Google Chrome on Debian-based Distributions
32-bit Linux distributions are deprecated since March 2016.Table of Contents
Install Google Chrome on Linux
We will use Google’s Linux software packages, which are signed with GPG keys that will automatically configure the package manager repository to install and update the Chrome browser whenever a new Chrome update is released.
Step 1: Install Google YUM Repository
First, create a new file called /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo as shown.
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo
Next, add the following lines of code to it.
[google-chrome] name=google-chrome baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
To save a file in vi, hit the ESC key to switch to command mode, press : (colon) to open the prompt bar, and type x after the colon and hit enter to save the changes.
Step 2: Install Google Chrome on Linux
First, check whether the latest version is available from Google’s own repository using the following yum command.
# yum info google-chrome-stable
Available Packages Name : google-chrome-stable Version : 113.0.5672.92 Release : 1 Architecture : x86_64 Size : 92 M Source : google-chrome-stable-113.0.5672.92-1.src.rpm Repository : google-chrome Summary : Google Chrome URL : https://chrome.google.com/ License : Multiple, see https://chrome.google.com/ Description : The web browser from Google
Do you see the highlighted output above, which clearly told that the latest version of Chrome is available from the repository. So, let’s install it using the yum command as shown below, which will automatically install all the needed dependencies.
# yum install google-chrome-stable
Yes, they’ve discontinued support for the RHEL 6.X version of Google Chrome, and on the other side, the latest Firefox and Opera browsers run successfully on the same platforms.
The next step for RHEL/CentOS 6 users is to move to recent releases of RHEL/CentOS or Rocky Linux/AlmaLinux, the latest Google Chrome works out of the box on these releases.
Step 3: Running Google Chrome on Linux
Start the Chrome browser with a non-root user from the command line or start it from System Menu.
# google-chrome &
Welcome screen of Chrome web browser.
Browsing www.tecmint.com on Chrome web browser.
That’s it, enjoy browsing with Chrome, and do let me know your browsing experience with Chrome via comments.

Hi, I have still a problem running Chromium after I installed it by your easy-to-understand installation. First: thanks for publishing this. I am using CentOS 6.6.
When I try to run chromium via /opt/chromium/chrome-wrapper %U I get:
[5690:5690:1113/105213:FATAL:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(181)] Check failed: boot_pid > 1 (1 vs. 1)Received invalid process ID for zygote; kernel might be too old? See crbug.com/357670 or try using –disable-setuid-sandbox to workaround.
Aborted (core dumped)
However, I don’t really get what’s the problem. Could you please help me?
Problem solved itself – all that was necessary was a system reboot. Afterwards Chromium is working without any problems.
I have problem,.. please help me!..

@chimin
It seems that your downloaded yum metadata has become obsolete. To fix this problem, clean yum metadata using following commands.
Big thanks to Ravi Saive and Richard Lloyd for this article and beautiful script. I followed the instructions and have successfully installed the google-chrome.
But when trying to run it, I got nothing:
[avz@rs ~]$ /usr/bin/google-chrome
[avz@rs ~]$
No processes in ps info, no output on console.
Then I tried this:
[avz@rs ~]$ /usr/bin/google-chrome; echo $?
1
[avz@rs ~]$
1 is not 0, which means that script failed to start. After some step-by-step debugging of /usr/bin/google-chrome bash-script I found out that commenting out the line “exec 2> /dev/null” fixes the issue.
Hope it will help someone.
Chrome isnt that integral to my life that I cant use a different browser. Messing with my libraries, env vars, and who knows what dependencies and wiping out my older browser that still works…why bother. Though I appreciate the effort, a 2K line shell script is hardly an elegant solution.
It’s never advisable to run older versions of browsers for too long, because there’s a regular stream of security vulnerabilities fixed with each release (witness the Google Chrome bug bounties that are paid out frequently). I think you’ll find that the latest version of my script is far less of a sticking plaster than it used to be – now it’s mainly about installing a newer libstdc++ in a tree well away from system libraries. It stil needs to build a chrome-deps RPM, so there’s still a fair number of deps to pull in (if you do C/RPM development, many of those will be installed already).
Building Chromium is an alternative, but the efforts I’ve seen out there tend to be out-of-date and don’t include Google Chrome’s built-in plugins (e.g. Flash). Upgrwding to CentOS 7 is another option, but probably more of an upheaval than runing my “inelegant” script.
Running the command gives me below a error under a normal user
[kiran@kiran ~]$ google-chrome &

Running the same command gives me below a error under root user

Hi,
On Centos 6.5 x64, with google-chrome-stable from yum installation, version 37.0.2062.120, always brings up 2 zombies when it starts. They disappear when process is exited though not always so cleanly.
I have posted further details on the chromium project web site:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Iteration%20ReleaseBlock%20Cr%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified&groupby=&sort=&id=123583
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi there,
Many thanks for these instructions. I hit “y” to update my OS, but now RHEL won’t boot.
It gets most of the way through booting (presumably up to the point of starting X), and then says:
“lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions”
…and sits there. I’m running RHEL 6.5.
Please help! I can’t work!
Thanks,
Tom
Tom, I am so sorry to hear that your OS stopped working. For me it seems its related to IPV6, disabling IPV6 protocol will solve your problem.
Hi Ravi,
When I was running this script on My OS it was facing the following problem

Very nice ! Beautiful work. Thank you.
Google Chrome 37.0.2062.120 and Fedora 15/17 libs were installed successfully.
Please run the browser via the ‘google-chrome’ command as a non-root user.
To update Google Chrome, run “yum update google-chrome-stable” or
simply re-run this script with “./install_chrome.sh”.
To uninstall Google Chrome and its dependencies added by this script,
run “yum remove google-chrome-stable chrome-deps-stable” or “./install_chrome.sh
I just installed Google Chrome using this script on my Oracle Linux running as a VirtualBox VM. Worked perfect. Thank you!
I was wondering why Chrome didn’t want to install this last time i tried and the whole redhat no support thing is unbelievable. Great article and thanks to Richard Lloyd :)
Great help. Thanks to Richard Lloyd for his install script!!!
friends,
i have installed cent os 6.3. but i can’t connect my huawei modem in that os, modem device does not detect. how to connect modem or wifi network connection. please help me……………………………..!.
Guys,
Please help me with this, I followed the above steps to install chrome on my RHEL 6.5 (64 bit). But I’m getting the below error.
“ERROR: Unable to correctly run /usr/bin/rpmdev-setuptree to create build enviroment – aborted
*** Uninstalling google-chrome-stable …”
Thanks,
RJ
How well does flash work in chrome on linux ? I don’t have time to test at the moment, that is why I’m asking.
Audio and video in Flash work fine for me in 64-bit CentOS 6.5 using Google Chrome, though remember that the flash plug-in is shipped with Chrome and is actually Flash 14 (whilst the normal Flash plug-in you can get from Adobe is Flash 11). I think it’s quite bad that Adobe only ship Flash 14 to Google and every othe Linux browser has to be 3 major versions behind! You suspect Google paid Adobe a pretty penny to do this…
Just released version 6.00 of my script at http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/ mainly to cope with the new install trees for the beta and unstable Google Chrome RPMs.
Just a follow up on the Google Chrome 36 crash – it seems to be “exclusive” to my “lots of extra stuff installed” 64-bit CentOS 6.5 desktop (an equivalent “clean” 32-bit or 64-bit VM/live ISO of 6.5 runs Google Chrome 36 fine). I’ve no idea what I’ve installed in the past couple of years that causes the crash though and there’s a chance that some other users with similarly “crufty” systems might see it (version 35 works fine on my system, BTW).
I’ll be moving to CentOS 7 soon anyway, plus adding a “clean” 64-bit 6.5 VM to my testing isn’t a hardship. I’ve left a note on the Web site just in case someone else has the same problem.
Some bad news – Google Chrome 36 has made enough changes to cause a startup crash on CentOS 6.5 that I’ve yet to find a fix for. Normally it’s a missing symbol fixed by using a Fedora library, but this isn’t the case this time. I’m not sure I can fix this, but I’ll keep looking at it.
Richard thanks for the update, but still is this good to update the article to latest Chrome 36? or should I wait for the fix?
I upgraded to version 36 and it is crashing everytime i try to launch it.
is there any way to revert back to version 35 of google chrome ?
Only way is to remove chrome directory under /opt and re-install with the script.
Tried that.
that still doesn’t solve the problem..
can anyone provide me with the v35 stable RPM please. ?
There is no such RPM, you’ve to wait for the fix.

A new major release (5.00) of my script is now available at http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/ but I’ve decided to raise to minimum supported version of CentOS 6 by the script to be 6.5, which has been out for over 6 months. I don’t know how many people hold back their CentOS 6 releases, but older releases have caused all sorts of issues when running Google Chrome.
The other enhancement with 5.00 is that those brave souls with RHEL 7 or the CentOS 7 pre-release can now also run my script. OK, it doesn’t do much more than install needed dependencies, but that’s still easier than working out what to do if you go the official Google Chrome download route (which gives you no clue there are any dependencies for the RPM).
I have followed the instruction as it is , but when i launch the chrome it doesn’t work. Any help
Any error you getting on the screen? while launching chrome?
Before when i run the
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome %U to /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome –user-data-dir %U
It will return an error of [0617/124226:ERROR:nss_util.cc(90)] Failed to create /root/.pki/nssdb directory.
So i read the above threads and run the below commands.
yum install nss

chcon -t usr_t /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox

Been getting this error when launching chrome:
[0507/150626:ERROR:nss_util.cc(90)] Failed to create /home/trschick/.pki/nssdb directory.
it hangs and chrome does not run.
the directory exists and I do have permissions on it:

To fix this error, run the following command, it will change the user/group ownership of the ‘.pki’ directory to yours.
In my setup also I am not a group… so I can’t directly run the suggested command.
But I already own the directory, and the target directory has no group permissions anyway.
wondering if that error is not the issue…. it is entirely correct… it can’t create the directory since it already exists… so perhaps I’m failing on what comes next… but not getting and error…
I’ve had this nssdb dir problem reported to me by one or two users, but I’m struggling to reproduce it myself. Try renaming your entire ~/.pki directory (without Google Chrome running at the time):
mv ~/.pki ~/.pki.old
and then starting Google Chrome after that. Another thing to do is to make sure nss is the latest version (mine is nss-3.15.3-6.el6_5) and “yum upgrade nss” if it isn’t.
In the meantime, I’ve put up a new 4.70 version of my script at http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/ – this one fixes a 2-hourly self-call segfault and provides a new -f option for non-interactive prompting.

I think package ‘libX11-1.4.3-1.fc16.i686’ is conflicting. Better remove this package and run the chrome script again.

Good job!
I ran ./install_chrome.sh (version 4.60) on my Centos 6.5 64-bit system. It worked fine.
I did similar thing earlier with vlc application. Thanks, again.
Thank you.
I just released version 4.60 of my script at http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/ which will download/install nss if it’s not present (credit to Ravi for suggesting this), plus fixes an issue with the GNOME keyring library (you might have seen it prompting for a keyring password in recent releases).
Ran the install script, but get this error
usr/bin/google-chrome: /usr/lib64/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.14.3′ not found (required by /usr/bin/google-chrome)
you need to install nss package using yum command.
I am running CentOS 6.5 and have installed successfully chrome 33,but it can not work.
Use “google-chrome” in ternimal and get “/usr/bin/google-chrome: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/google-chrome: undefined symbol: gtk_button_get_event_window”..
Please suggest me a fix.
Thanks so much, this appears to work perfectly with the exception of sound but I am sure that is fixable. I am running centos6.5_64 on a compact presario v3000. I have waited so long for something like this, thank you so much.
google chrome installed but it do not paly sounds.. video is working but there is no sound.
firefox,opera browsers playing sound.

Good going Dude !!! (y)
Thank you very much for your effort! it worked perfectly for me :-)
This worked a treat. Many thanks, installed into the Applications menu too.
Running Centos 6.5 and the install_chrome.sh script worked wonders to give me a working version 31 of chrome. Thanks to Richard for all the hard work.
my linux kernel version is:

plz help me how to slv this prblm ??
If yum failed to install dependencies, use the script provided in the article to install latest stable Google Chrome.
Thanx to richard lloyd for the chrome install script for this centos user!!
Script Works on 32bit Centos OS 6.5

It seems Latest Chrome is not supported on your system. Which version of OS you using? Have you tried the script to install the latest stable one?
For all the ones using RHEL or centos and get the following error:

Use this script, it worked for me:

Hi,
I install the newer google chrome ( Version 29.0.1547.65 ) but sometimes without reason Centos show me this in my error report. See this screenshot: http://gtsvetanov.com/problem.png

It didn’t work on CentOS 6.4! Could you help me?
It displays this error:

Thanks in advance!
The error itself telling that you already have chrome tree present on /opt and /tmp. So, you need to remove these folders like.
After that, give a try again, I am sure it will work.
cat /etc/*release*
CentOS release 5.10 (Final)
After
yum install google-chrome-stable
./install_chrome.sh
I got the same error msg as Dani.

I did as you suggested:

redo “./install_chrome.sh”
However, still can get the same error msg…

Your libX11.so is too old to work with newest Google-Chrome version. You need to upgrade your OS
Script works perfectly, chrome runs fine so far on Oracle Linux 6.4 using Unbreakable Enterprise kernel.
Thank you for the awesome solution .
I use Ubuntu , CentOS6.4 as double boot.
I use CentOS for KVM .
I use Ubuntu 12.04 for tremendous graphical experience, which no other OS apart from MAC gives .
Thank you, here functioned normally, CentOS 6.4
hi!
I have followed all the steps above. I can see chrome being installed but when I run the command google-chrome & it says command not found.
Hi, when I run google-chrome on CentOS6.4 , a message came out like this “/usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: ELF load command past end of file” ,help me please.
Has just worked like a charm with an older (64-bit) desktop on CentOS 6.4. Thanks – I know the user will ask for it.
The script worked perfect after setting the selinux context.. Thanx a bunch..
The script is so good congratulations , but it fails at the end when calling rpmdev-setuptree
i tried to install rpmdevtools but it not installs because dependence problems .
elfutils-0.152-1.el6.x86_64 from RHEL-63-x86_64

rpmdevtools-7.5-1.el6.noarch from RHEL-63-x86_64
I haven’t seen those dependency issues on the test environments (which now include 32-bit platforms and Scientific Linux), Marcos. It may be you’ve added third-party repos that clash. If you’re running a 6.3 release, I’d recommend a “yum update” to 6.4 before you try running my script again, since you’ll need 6.4 to run Google Chrome 28 or later.
Very good great contribution! thanks
a very good news,thank you~
Just a note that version 4.01 of my script sorts out previous issues listed here. The _XGetRequest problem is because you are running a pre-6.4 CentOS (6.4 updated libX11 to 1.5, which fixes the symbol issue). My script now asks you to update your CentOS install to at least 6.4 and recommends you don’t run Chrome until you do.
BTW, I tried CentOS 6.0 unpatched in a VM the other day and it has all sorts of problems (including more issues with Chrome) – even metacity was crashing literally all the time!

Hi, I run the script on my centos 6.3, but then I launch google-chrome command, this is what I get

I have download rpm file but it’s too much dependency required. Is there any package file is available on internet please share URL…
Regards,

NO, there is no such offline package available to install, you must connected to internet to download Chrome with all needed packages.
I ran this script and got this error any suggestions:
/opt/google/chrome/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libglib-2.0.so.0: failed to map segment from shared object: Permission denied
Hi,
I don’t have direct internet connect. let me know is there any way to install google-chrome on RHEL 6.4 64bit.
Regards,
Tausif
NO way! Sorry, you must have internet to download Chrome.
In case you prefer to have the dependency libraries in a regular RPM package I’ve created a spec file for building a chrome-deps package. It’s available from github:
https://github.com/adamel/chrome-deps
Hi
I’v used the script on my 32bit CentOS 6.4 (kernel 3.9), it installed Chrome 28.0.1500.71, but doesn’t work. Is not browsing, even “Settings”.

http://i.imgur.com/rJtMzUG.png
Can anyone help me?
Thanks so much, for my work I have to keep 2-3 different browsers open at once and I have so many things configured for each I didn’t want to have to abandon Chrome. This worked perfectly! Thanks again!
Hi,
+1 for Richard Lloyd’s install_chrome.sh script: worked wonders here on my Springdale EL6 x86_64 notebook.
Thanks Richard!
Cheers,

Durval.
I have created a shell script you can download from here:
http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/
When run, it will download and install the latest Chrome (28 at the time of writing) and also download/extract some libraries from various Fedora 15 RPMs. Once it’s run successfully, the google-chrome command will run Chrome 28 OK for me on my 64-bit CentOS 6.4 system.
Dear Richard,
Thanks for the script, we will definitely try out, if it works perfectly. We include script in this article.
THX very much. It Works!
Richard,
Thanks for the great script, this fixed my centos 6.4 VM that I set up fro testing new software. Worked perfectly.
Worked great, Richard. That’s for your work.
OS is latest CentOS6.3, still the issue:

Any work around ?

Your current operating system is not supported to install Chrome, do a upgrade
I have upgraded to the latest version of RHEL 6. Same result.
To “upgrade” to one of the unstable “supported” Linux distributions would be unwise, based on other software supported by RHEL 6.

lsb-core (4.0-1pclos2010)
vim-enhanced (7.3.338-4pclos2012)
and am met with endless impossible to fix loop of dep problems. Why does it care if I have vim-enhanced? Its an unnecessary old viewer. Its the last dependency that if installed then needs ruby, ruby needs ruby-libs, then from there it never ends with more. I would have a new distro when done. None of these packages are on the pclinux distros (there are no usa distros any more either).
when I ask it tells me I have LSB 3.* installed.
Forcing deps on the vim-enhanced just to get the other files to install jams the package manager. It claims broken packages of everything above:

Have you correctly added chrome repository? because i see from the error that media repo is loading. disable that centos.repo and try to load from the chrome repo.
yes i Have correctly add chrome repository, ando how disable centos.repo?

Sorry, my mistake disable media .repo by making enable=1 to enable=0. and try again the command.

Google Chrome is not compatible with RHEL/CentOS 5 (5.7). So, the only way to get this running, you must go with newer version (i.e CentOS 6).
Hi,
I am using CentOS 6.2, 32 bit and still it is asking for me to update my OS. When i try to udpate the OS getting following error,
** Found 2 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), ‘yum check’ output follows:
chrome-deps-1.20-1.i686 has missing requires of libz.so.1(ZLIB_1.2.2)
google-chrome-stable-34.0.1847.132-1.i386 has missing requires of libnss3.so(NSS_3.14.3)
Zlib library is not compatible with newest Chrome, you should upgrade your OS.
Worked perfect with CentOS 6.4 64-bit.
Thanks!
I tried the above process and i am getting the below error after starting the browser
(google-chrome:5012): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
[2]+ Exit 1 google-chrome
I got:
Failed to move to new PID namespace: Operation not permitted
Any idea how to fix that? Seems to be a problem with the sandbox.
This can be fixed by using the following command.
Thanks for the reply but I’m not running SELinux so chcon doesn’t help.
(Tried it before checking if SELinux is active and got
chcon: can’t apply partial context to unlabeled file `/opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox’)
How can I install this google chrome version on CentOS 5.8?
