Installing google chrome for Linux


1.   Obtain the latest google chrome version from  https://www.google.com



2.   Click ' Download Chrome '  and save the google chrome software inside the  \tmp  folder as shown
      below. Since Linux Operating System Knoppix 7.2 is Debian-based we downloaded the Debian-based
      version of the Firefox software, that is, google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb

3.   Installed the firefox software by invoking the Linux command
      /tmp#   dpkg -i  google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb then the firefox
      software will be up and running.
