I am running Ubuntu 16.04 off a USB stick. I have tried to install Chrome via the Software Center and it says installing and then goes back to "install" a second later.

I have also tried via Terminal and have failed. I am fairly new to Ubuntu, but not Linux as a whole.

It is better to use terminal. Download googlechrome.deb from there website

Open terminal and cd to the installation directory Then type:

sudo apt-get install gdebi
sudo gdebi google*

Now the browser should be installed and working normally

There is a known issue with Software in Ubuntu 16.04, that cant install debs from internet. You may install the old Software Center, that still work fine and can manage downloaded debs: sudo apt-get install software-center. Then open the deb file with Ubuntu Software Center.

You can install using the Synaptic Package Manager. Search in the All category for google-chrome-stable. Mark it for install, select to install any additional packages. Then select Apply. If the latest isn't installed, select to update the package. There was a recent update to package earlier today.
