Simple guide to installing chrome on Ubuntu systems

Jul 29, 2024

I wanted to use headless chrome for generating pdfs from Laravel apps. Open source chromium-browser was straight forward. But it has issues with snap. So installing chrome rather than chromium-browser is the best choice.

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

Then install it

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

Check the chrome processes pgrep chrome

Kill all chrome proceses sudo pkill chrome
