Install Google Chrome in Debian 8

Install Google Chrome in Linux Debian
Go to official website of Google Chrome and click on the “Download now” button.
Select the “64 bit .deb (For Debian/Ubuntu)”, read the agreement and if you agree click on “Accept and Install” to download the installation package. Save the file to the default location ~/Downloads/.
the filename should look like that: “google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb”
after that open a terminal go to Downloads directory and try to install the package.
cd ~/Downloads/
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
if you get an error like: “Errors were encountered while processing: google-chrome-stable” it is because some dependencies are missing. To fix that enter the following command:
sudo apt-get -f install
Then you should be able to run the installation without problems:
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
To run Google Chrome type in terminal “google-chrome” or click the icon in the menu.
Shouldn’t it ne dpkg -i rather than dpkg –?
when I do it it says package architecture amd64 does not match system (armhf) I changed amd64 to armhf and it just said no such file or directory. Please help
i get the same package architecture message
Google has decided to not support 32bit processors. One of the advantages of Linux is breathing new life into old boxes. Thanks a bunch Google.
I install google chrome and everything seems to be fine but when I go to run it, I get no information and nothing happens. Reinstalling just says that it is already installed. What properties need changed? (firefox works fine)
Hello can you please post:
O.S. version and Version of chrome?
I get the exact error you mention, run
`sudo apt-get -f install`
and it still doesn’t the fix it.
can anybody tell me what this @password for abcd @ be like??
I get the exact error too… “sudo apt-get -f install” doesn’t seem to fix the issues. I still get dependency errors.
Try update your sources.list as below;
# /etc/apt/sources.list :
deb http://ftp.hu.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.hu.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
something’s wrong with the download, I try to download the deb package to install chrome and it downloads it as .tar.gz, what can I do?
This is a tarball something like zip.
Use tar -xvf and the file name to uncompress it.
