How to install Chrome in Ubuntu 24.10 terminal?

If you’re using Ubuntu 24.10 and want to install Google Chrome via terminal, here’s the fastest and cleanest way to do it. No need for Ubuntu Software — just a few commands and you’re ready.

Step 1: Download the Chrome .deb File

Use wget to fetch the latest stable version of Chrome directly from Google:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Step 2: Install the Package Using apt

Instead of dpkg, we use apt to automatically resolve dependencies:

sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Let it finish installing. This will also add the Chrome repo to your system for future updates.

Step 3: Launch Chrome

You can launch Chrome from your terminal:

google-chrome

Or find Google Chrome in your application menu.

That’s it — Google Chrome is now installed on your Ubuntu 24.10 system and will stay updated automatically thanks to the added repository.
