How to install Google Chrome on Manjaro 17.0

Manjaro Tutorial – Hello everyone today I am going to show you how to install the latest Google Chrome on Manjaro 17.0. Google Chrome is a free, powerful web browser available for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and mobile devices. Before we can install Google Chrome on Manjaro, we need to enable AUR repository first on Manjaro 17.0.

Steps to install Google Chrome on Manjaro 17.0

1. Enable AUR Repository
2. Install Google Chrome

Step 1. Enable AUR Repository

To enable AUR on Manjaro 17.0, open Pamac Software Manager and go to Preferences. Then click on AUR tab and enable it from there.

Step 2. Install Google Chrome

Using Pamac Software Manager

Open Pamac and type “google-chrome” on the search box. You will see Google Chrome listed there. Mark it for installation and press Apply.

Install via Command Line

Use this command to install Google Chrome

yaourt -S google-chrome

[dhani@dhani-manjaro ~]$ yaourt -S google-chrome

==> Downloading google-chrome PKGBUILD from AUR…

@Det – yeah, it does work on other distro’s like this. I dropped it in on a fresh Ubuntu with fresh Google Chrome installed, into /opt/google/chrome/extensions, and as soon as I opened up Chrome it appeared 🙁 Went through that FAQ, and still in the same position. Any other ideas as to what may be going on, or how I can dig deeper to see where Chrome may be looking?

I dunno? Rename your settings dirs (~/.cache/google-chrome/, ~/.config/google-chrome/), start in incognito, swap between the /usr/bin launcher and the one from /opt/google/chrome/ directly, extract the .deb and put the extension there, or try copying *all* the contents to /opt/google/chrome/, use “–enable-logging –v=1” (https://www.chromium.org/for-testers/enable-logging), etc.

You should add xdg-utils to deps like chromium.
