I tried installing 64 bit Ubuntu MATE 18.04 on RPi3B+ but there was no package available for it in Software Boutique. Is there no 64 bit version of Chromium for 64 bit Ubuntu MATE 18.04?

  • Isn't all software for Pies 32bit? – mikewhatever Jul 06 '19 at 21:09

    The Software Boutique was never intended to have all software packages, it was created as a store for selected packages wanted by most users for that system, maybe they didn't consider browsers as key for pi's (which is commonly seen as more of an appliance device?) – guiverc Jul 06 '19 at 22:05

Software boutique only contains a handfull of software chosen by the ubuntu mate developers because of how well those applications integrate in the mate desktop environment. If you want a graphical way to install all applications I suggest installing gnome software.

You can install chromium in 64 bit Ubuntu MATE by using following commands :

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

  • The 64-bit version can be downloaded using this link.

    wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb Google Chrome no longer supports 32-bit.

    After downloading it, run the commands below to install it.

    sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb; sudo apt-get -f install

    @ Mehta 1. 64-bit amd64 is not the same as arm64 (Raspberry case). 2. Modern apt/apt-get allows to install deb-files directly with sudo apt install ./file.deb, so there is no need to fix dependencies with sudo apt-get -f install . – N0rbert Jul 17 '19 at 12:39
