How To Install Google Chrome on Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Google Chrome on Ubuntu 19.10. For those of you who didn’t know, Google Chrome is the official Google browser that is available for almost all platforms. From Windows to Android and from macOS to almost all Linux distributions. Google Chrome is more than a web browser, as it combines sophisticated open source technology, borrowed from the Chromium application, into a minimal design, all in order to help users surf the web much faster, a lot easier, and safer than ever before.

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 Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine).

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine).
• 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.
