Ubuntu – How to install google chrome for ubuntu- touch

I guess without sudo you cannot install google chrome. Because google chrome will try to install it in directory /opt and few other root directory, which needs sudo privilege.

But the alternative way is to install the chrome portable app. But to run a portable app you must have RUNZ framework

Follow the procedures in this link to install google chrome portable.

But I would recommend you to install the Google chrome with sudo permissions using the below commands

Add PPA to

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'

Install Google chrome

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

Hope this helps

uGet is the best Linux Download Manager available and works great on Ubuntu 12.04

We (uGet team) are also in the process of developing a Google Chrome/Chromium Extension that does exactly what you are requesting. The extension is still in development but we hope to release it as soon as possible.

Note* - Ubuntu Software Center has a VERY OLD version of uGet regardless the amount of effort we have put in to get it updated. So for the latest version go to http://ugetdm.com/downloads
