just curious why we need to install both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of chrome
reply link
� Vivek Gite • Aug 31, 2015 @ 5:15
You don’t need both version. If you are using 32bit Linux distro, download 32
bit version. if you are using 64bit Linux distro, download 64bit chrome.

Note that ‘dnf’ deprecates yum in Fedora 22 so your articles should now reflect
that when marked as for Fedora.

Or, probably even better, you can just use JuNest to build a small and isolated

These instructions do NOT install version 44. They install the “latest” version

Asif Ali Rizvan • Sep 15, 2015 @ 13:21
instead of
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-
stable_current_i386.rpm
Yum downloads and installs, wget is an additional step, unless we want to keep
the installer rpm.
yum install https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-

stable_current_i386.rpm
will also work.

Chrome, sensibly doesn’t want to run as root on a desktop.
This is not a problem as it is something you should not do, however there is no
notiice to that effect.
