This guide explains howto install Google Chrome Web browser on Fedora 26/25/24/23 and CentOS/Red Hat (RHEL) 7.4. Best way to install and keep up-to-date with Google Chrome browser is use Google’s own YUM/DNF repository.

Currently it’s not possible to install Google Chrome on CentOS 6 / Red Hat (RHEL) 6 and Google Says Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Is Obsolete, but don’t worry, I write guide, howto install Chromium Web Browser on CentOS 6 / Red Hat (RHEL) 6.

Install Google Chrome on Fedora 26/25/24/23, CentOS 7.4, Red Hat (RHEL) 7.4

1. Change to root user.

sudo -i
## OR ##
su -

2. Enable Google YUM repository

Note: Google Chrome Linux version doesn’t get any 32-bit (x86) updates and 32-bit repo is also removed. If you have 32-bit version installed, then you can use it, but you can’t get security updates or other updates anymore.

Run following command (copy & paste all lines to console) to create /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo file:

cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo
[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome - \$basearch
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/\$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
EOF
