I downloaded Chrome, opened with Ubuntu software, but when I press install - nothing happens. In the bottom I get a message - this software comes from a 3-rd party and may contain non-free components. What do I do to install? Is it something in system settings?

    Is your system a 32bit or 64bit version? Cause as I know Google chrome don't support 32 bit version anymore. – Sina R. Jul 13 '16 at 18:55

In the end I installed successfully using another installer (gdebi).

sudo apt-get install gdebi-core

Thanks for all the help!

Sometimes there are dependencies that don't install for some reason. Open a terminal and go to the folder where the .deb file is.

Type sudo dpkg -i ./google* and it should install it.

If you get an error about dependencies, type sudo apt-get install -f and it will install all the dependencies and then Chrome.

  • @T.raanan Apologies, I forgot you have to type sudo before dpkg, I edited my answer. – Delorean Jul 13 '16 at 20:10
