Some times various window managers, do not prompt for the administrative(sudo) authentication. So try this, in your web browser, open a search dialog, and type download chrome.

This should take you to a location, that contains a download chrome button. You will be prompted to chose between 64 but .deb (for Debian/Ubuntu) or 64 bit .rpm(for Fedora/openSUSE). Choose the .deb file.

And accept and install, the Google Chrome Terms of Service.

Choose to save the file.

Then drop to a Terminal Prompt, and navigate to where it was downloaded. This location is typically, /home/yourusername/Downloads

type the following:

sudo dpkg -i ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

The -i instructs dpkg to install the designated file. The use of ./ informs dpkg, to use the current folder to find the specified file.

With sudo this prompt for your password, if you have sudoers privilege, it should provide the appropriate authentication and permit the installation to proceed.
