How do I download Google Chrome on Ubuntu 17.04?
I hit download on the Google website, and in my files it shows up as a package called google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
When I click on it, it brings up google-chrome-stable from Ubuntu software, and nothing happens when I hit install. (I have tried restarting my computer).
Is there another way to download it?
What I typically do is go to the Ubuntu Store and get Gdebi Package Installer. This makes everything easier for what you want. After that, I take the package you downloaded, right click and tell it to open with Gdebi. After that I hit "install" and let the magic happen. The good thing about this method is later if you keep Gdebi and you come across a package you need/want to install but there isn't a version in apt or a repository you can add it makes things super easy.
Since your method doesn't work, here is an alternative method to install Google Chrome. Save the .deb file in the Downloads folder, then Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open the terminal and type
cd ~/Downloads
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
After typing your admin password, then type
sudo apt install -f
to install any dependencies, and Google Chrome will be installed.
