Installing chrome-browser (kuldeep)

[Programming and Computing Group, NCBS Bangalore]

Moving to a new thread.

Hye Dilawar,
I tried to install chrome but its not happening. Basically, I tried to find any read me or install file but there is nothing like that. It would be great if you can tell me how to install it (like in step wise manner :P ) .

Thanks

Assuming that you have successfully set-up proxy on your Ubuntu machine, Follow instructions here.

After installation, you can launch the chrome, either from terminal or normal unity window. Last thing to keep in mind, that google-chrome uses environment variable to detect proxy from desktop-manager. If proxy variables are not setup properly, chrome won't work.

If nothing else works, you can launch chrome from command line and pass the proxy there

$ google-chrome--proxy-server="http=proxy.ncbs.res.in:3128;https=proxy.ncbs.res.in:3128;ftp=proxy.ncbs.res.in:3128" 

You don't want to type so much everytime, just to launch a browser, so use a script.

  $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dilawar/Scripts/master/chrome

  $ chmod +x chrome

  $ sudo cp chrome /usr/local/bin

These 3 commands will 1) download the script 2)make is executable 3) copy it to /usr/local/bin.

Now you can launch chrome from command line by typing chrome only. When using NCBS-Hotspot which does not have proxy, don't use this script but launch it using `google-chrome`.

best,

Yup. Just bring your machine to the lab. We can create some notes on how to
install it on linux as well.
