Chrome on CentOS 6


I believe installing Chrome on Centos 5 was a bit of a nightmare, there are a few posts around that seem to assume the same will be true for CentOS 6, but luckily it’s not!

I am running 64 bit CentOS 6.2 with Kernel 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 I went to the following URL and clicked the Don’t see a window? ”click here”.

http://www.google.de/chrome/

Once the rpm was downloaded, I su’d to root and ran rpm -i google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm and that was it, it appeared in the internet section of the menu system and works as expected.
