Install Google Chrome in Linux Debian

chromeGo to official website of Google Chrome and click on the "Download now" button.
Select the "64 bit .deb (For Debian/Ubuntu)", read the agreement and if you agree click on "Accept and Install" to download the installation package. Save the file to the default location ~/Downloads/.
the filename should look like that: "google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb"
after that open a terminal go to Downloads directory and try to install the package.

cd ~/Downloads/

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

if you get an error like: "Errors were encountered while processing: google-chrome-stable" it is because some dependencies are missing. To fix that enter the following command:

sudo apt-get -f install

Then you should be able to run the installation without problems:

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

To run Google Chrome type in terminal "google-chrome" or click the icon in the menu.
