Unable to install google chrome and libappindicator1

1. I downloaded the .deb file from the official web page.

2. And later I entered the command you've already written:

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

(I have 64-bit architecture thats why I downloaded the amd64)

3. Then I downloaded the missing file

sudo apt-get install libappindicator1

Then I got an error about, libappindicator7... and APT suggested I run the command:

apt-get -f install

Without arguments.

Next it asks if you want to install both libappindicator1 and libappindicator7. You type y.

4. And finally you execute the first command again...

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Then it works!

Note: I didn't tell you to run those commands with libappindicator first.. because maybe you would get another error about "missing files" so the first dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb would tell you what you needed.

google-chrome-stable is available on a 3rd Party Repository:Google Chrome (for Stable).

Follow the instruction for installation:

1. Add Key:

   wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

3. Install package:

   sudo apt-get update 
   sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable
