Install Chrome on Fedora Linux

You can install Chrome using the YUM package manager.

You have to first add a new repository file to the /etc/yum.repos.d directory, following steps:

  1. Open your favorite editor and enter the su command to gain root access.
  2. Create the /etc/yum.repos.d/chromium.repo file.
  3. Add the following contents to the file:
    [chromium]
    name=Chromium Test Packages
    baseurl=http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F$releasever/
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=0
  4. Save the file.

Once yum has updated you are ready to install Chromium. Issue the following command:
yum install chromium
and answer ‘Y’ to install.

After the installation is complete you are ready to run Chromium. You will find Chromium listed in the Internet sub-menu of the Applications menu.
