important: Google Chrome support for all 32-bit Linux distributions is deprecated from March, 2016.
By using Google’s official repository you will keep your Chrome browser up-to-date.
# yum update google-chrome-stable
However, same instructions should also work on RHEL 7.x/6.x, CentOS 7.x/6.x and Fedora 26-20 versions as well.
Step 1: Enable Google YUM repository
Create a file called /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo and add the following lines of code to it.
[google-chrome] name=google-chrome baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
Step 2: Installing Chrome Web Browser
First, check whether the latest version available from the Google’s own repository using following yum command.
# yum info google-chrome-stable
Sample Output
Check Google Chrome Package Info
