I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04.

I tried to install Google Chrome by downloading a .deb file from the internet.

I opened it using Software Center, but I get a message:

This is 3rd party software and it may have non-free components

More importantly, it's not installing.

To install Chrome, you must be running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. Open a terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+T), and run the following:

sudo apt update
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt install -f -y
rm google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt update
google-chrome
