How To Install Google Chrome on Linux Mint 21

Install Google Chrome on Linux Mint 21

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Google Chrome on Linux Mint 21. For those of you who didn’t know, Google Chrome is a well-known, secure, and efficient web browser. It is also considered the fastest and most stable web browser. Chrome has a ton of features that make browsing the web a better experience and also Chrome is synced with your Google account, so your bookmarks and passwords will be available on all your devices.

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 a Google Chrome web browser on a Linux Mint 21 (Vanessa).

Prerequisites

  • A server running one of the following operating systems: Linux Mint 21 (Vanessa).
  • It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
  • SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
  • A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.

Install Google Chrome on Linux Mint 21 Vanessa

Step 1. Before running the tutorial below, it’s important to make sure your system is up to date by running the following apt commands in the terminal:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install software-properties-common apt-transport-https wget ca-certificates gnupg2

Step 2. Installing Google Chrome Web Browser on Linux Mint 21.

By default, Chrome is not available on the Linux Mint 21 base repository. Now we add the Google Chrome repository to your system using the following command:

echo deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/google-chrome.gpg] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

Next, import the GPG key:

sudo wget -O- https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/google-chrome.gpg

Now start by updating the packages list and install Google Chrome stable by using the command below:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install google-chrome-stable

Step 3. Accessing Google Chrome on Linux Mint 21.

Once we finish with the installation, we will find Chrome in the Mint menu, in the Accessories section or you can launch it through the terminal with the help of the command shown below:

google-chrome
