How to install Google Chrome on Fedora 18

How to install Google Chrome on Fedora 18

This tutorial will show you how to install Google Chrome on Fedora 18 using YUM repository. Previously, I ‘ve been written a similar post on how to install Google Chrome on Fedora 17. With the similar method we can install Google Chrome on Fedora 18. Google Chrome is a fast web browser available for Linux. I’ve been using this Google Chrome for my default web browser on my Fedora 18.

First, add the Google repository to Fedora 18.

su
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo

Paste these lines into it

[google-chrome] name=google-chrome - 32-bit
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Now install Google Chrome using command

yum install google-chrome-stable

That’s it.

You need to have the section header on its own line or yum won't recognize it. Ex:

[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome - 32-bit

At least that is what I had to do to make it work.
