Install Google Chrome on RHEL and CentOS distributions

If you are running the OS CentOS and try to install Google Chrome you will probably be disappointed. The Google Chrome no longer supports the most famous commercial distribution RHEL 6.x and all its free clones such as CentOS and 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 version of Google's browser, and select the libraries they need by placing them in the / opt / google / chrome folder.

So you'll be able to run the app even if it no longer supports them RHEL and CentOS.

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 launch the application from the terminal as a regular user (not root).
