Fedora 30 Install Chrome

without comments

While building the new Fedora 30 Linux instance for my students, I needed to install the Google Chrome browser. Here are the instructions for installing the Chrome browser.

  1. As the root user, create the google-chrome.repo file in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory with the following information:

    [chrome]
    name=google-chrome
    baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=1
    gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
  2. Next, use the yum utility to install the Chrome browser:

    yum install -y google-chrome

    You should see the following log information:

  3. Click the following “f” icon in the lower left corner to bring up the Application Launcer:

    It raises the Application Launcher dialog:

    Enter Chrome inside the search field and it launches the Chrome browser:

As always, I hope this helps those trying to do the same thing.
