Install Chromium (dev) Browser on Fedora 16/15/14/13 Using YUM - Comment Page: 2
First thing is good to make clear the difference between Chromium and Google Chrome. Chromium is the open-source project behind Google Chrome. Biggest difference between Chromium and Google Chrome is that the Chromium is development version and Google Chrome is tested version of Chromium. A more detailed clarification differences between Chromium and Google Chrome can be found here.
Earlier I write guide, howto install Google Chrome (Stable, Beta or Unstable) on Fedora using YUM. And this is guide, howto Install Chromium on Fedora 16, Fedora 15, Fedora 14 and Fedora 13 using YUM.

Thanks a lot for your very very good tutorial!

Hi gh,
This is Fedora only guide…this has never worked on CentOS, or what do you mean?
If you want install Google Chrome instead on CentOS 6.2, then check:

http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/leigh123linux/chromium-stable/epel-chromium-stable.repoI had to use this repo, the one listed above was 404’d
Hi Travis Paul,
Original http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium/fedora-chromium-stable.repo works normally for me?
You are a very great instructor, i wish you were my teacher
Thank you SO much! This worked beautifully. Follow the directions exactly as posted (copy paste each line individually in the terminal after signing in as administrator by typing “su” and then typing in your login password, and you’ll have Chromium.
Thank you for this. I wonder, though – is there a way to get the latest version of Chromium on Fedora? This is still only v21 and we have v24 Chromium out there.
Hi Ante,
Unfortunately I can’t find any Chromium v24 builds for Fedora, but you can of course build Chromium v24.
Great guide, thank you very much!
I’m using CentOS 6.4 (Final) and I’m getting this error:
Error: Package: google-chrome-stable-28.0.1500.52-207119.x86_64 (google-chrome)
Requires: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.15)(64bit)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Is there any workaround for this??? Please Help Me!!!
Tried to post the above question in the Chrome Tutorail post and I kept getting this message:
Cheating huh

Hi Luis,
Unfortunately latest Google Chrome update break CentOS/RHEL 6.4 compatibility. I’m just looking easiest workaround to this. One possible way is build newer gcc manually, but let’s see what I find out.
And about AVH, is it possible that your ip found example from projecthoneypot db? Or StopForumSpam db?
This installs in in opt directory, but how do you link it with oracle jre, preferably the latest one?
Thanks for the clear instructions.
