  • How do you try to install it? – Pilot6 Jun 19 '16 at 16:41
  • Most of the high-voted and accepted answers won't work out of the box, because of dependencies. – Pilot6 Jun 19 '16 at 16:44

    Please have a look at http://askubuntu.com/help/how-to-ask and review your question providing more information. – Marcellinov Jun 19 '16 at 17:19
  • @Pilot6 Pandya's answer should work fine, and what your answer suggests is the third answer there. – muru Jun 19 '16 at 18:41
  • @muru That's correct, but can you imagine that a newbie will check the 3rd answer? They will try 1st and 2nd and fail. – Pilot6 Jun 19 '16 at 18:43
  • @Pilot6 why would the second fail? (Or the first, now that GNOME Software supports debs, IIRC?) – muru Jun 19 '16 at 18:43
  • The dependencies will not install and Chrome will not install either. – Pilot6 Jun 19 '16 at 18:45
  • @Pilot6 you say that, but I don't see why not. – muru Jun 19 '16 at 18:47
  • I tried lot's of times. After you install once, the dependencies are there and new installs will work. `dpkg` will give an error, `apt install -f` will fix it and install Chrome. – Pilot6 Jun 19 '16 at 18:48

Run in terminal
