In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Google Chrome on Linux Mint 19. For those of you who didn’t know, Google Chrome is the official Google browser that is available for almost all platforms.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of Google Chrome on a Linux Mint 19 (Tricia) server.
