Add Google Chome to Oracle Linux 7

If you use Oracle Linux everyday on your desktop then the first two things you should do is add the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repo and Google Chome.

Due to a number of dependances these can be difficult to do but please just use these simple commands (at you own risk!!):

Step 1: Add OEL Latest Repo

yum-config-manager –enable ol7_optional_latest

Step 2: Create EPEL Repo

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-yum-ol7.repo

add: name=Oracle Linux $releasever EPEL ($basearch)
baseurl=http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/developer_EPEL/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

Step 3: Create Google Repo

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo

add:

name=google-chrome – 64-bit
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Step 4: Update Repo List and Install Chome

yum repolist
yum install google-chrome-stable
