If you are running the CentOS operating system and try to install Google Chrome, you will probably be disappointed. The Google Chrome browser no longer supports the most popular commercial distribution RHEL 6.x and all its free clones, such as CentOS and Scientific Linux.
Yes, Google has reportedly stopped support for the RHEL 6.X distribution, while on the other hand, Firefox and Opera browsers do not seem to be experiencing any particular problems on the same platforms.
Below we will describe how you can install Google Chrome, using a script developed by Richard Lloyd.
The script will download the latest version of Google's browser, and select the libraries it needs, placing them in the /opt/google/chrome folder.
This way you will be able to run the application even if it no longer supports RHEL and CentOS distributions.
Open the terminal and run the following commands:
wget https://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/install_chrome.sh
chmod u+x install_chrome.sh
./install_chrome.sh
After installation, start the application from the terminal as a regular user (not as root).
