Install Google Chrome on RHEL and CentOS distributions

If you are running the OS CentOS and try to install it μάλλον θα απογοητευτείτε. Tο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης Google Chrome δεν υποστηρίζει πλέον την πιο διάσημη εμπορική διανομή RHEL 6.x και όλους τους δωρεάν κλώνους της, όπως το CentOS και το Scientific Linux.

Yes, Google has reportedly stopped support for the RHEL 6.X distribution while on the other hand, Firefox and Opera browsers seem to be unaffected on the same platforms.CentOS

Below we will describe how to install Google Chrome using a script developed by Richard Lloyd.

The script will download the latest one of the Google browser, and will select the required libraries, placing them in the /opt/google/chrome folder.

So you will be able to run it even though it no longer supports RHEL and CentOS distributions.

Open the terminal and run the following commands:

wget http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/install_chrome.sh
chmod u + x install_chrome.sh
./install_chrome.sh

After installation, start the application from the terminal as a simple user (not as a root).
