Installing Chromiun-browser (Karmic Koala)
Post date: 04-Nov-2009 19:42:25
In order to install the browser chromium (father of the well known Google Chrome), you must have administration power (or the root password)
In a terminal, type
[> gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and at the end of the file copy the following two lines,
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
Save the file and close it. Then, again in the terminal type the command lines (one by one),
[> sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xfbef0d696de1c72ba5a835fe5a9bf3bb4e5e17b5
[> sudo apt-get update
[> sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
Now, you can start the browser by looking in Applications --> Internet --> Chromium Web Browser or using the CLI
[> chromium-browser &
That's it!!
Enjoy!
