How to Download and Install Google Chrome in Kali Linux Using Terminal (Full Tutorial)



How to Download and Install Google Chrome in Kali Linux Using Terminal (Full Tutorial)





Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers, but it does not come pre-installed in Kali Linux because Kali focuses on open-source tools.
Still, you can install Chrome easily using the terminal.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to download and install Google Chrome in Kali Linux using only terminal commands.


⚠️ Important Note

Google Chrome is not open-source, so it is not available in Kali’s default repositories.
We will download it directly from Google and install it safely.


๐Ÿ“Œ Requirements

  • Kali Linux (Any version)

  • Internet connection

  • Terminal access

  • Root or sudo privileges


Step 1: Update Kali Linux System

Always update your system before installing new software.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

๐Ÿ“Œ Why?
This prevents dependency issues and ensures smooth installation.


Step 2: Download Google Chrome (.deb package)

Google Chrome for Linux comes as a .deb package.

Run the following command:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

๐Ÿ“Œ This command:

  • Downloads the official Google Chrome Stable version

  • Saves it in your current directory

To confirm download:

ls

You should see:

google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Step 3: Install Google Chrome Using apt

Now install the downloaded package:

sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

๐Ÿ“Œ Why apt instead of dpkg?

  • apt automatically installs missing dependencies

  • Prevents broken installations


Step 4: Fix Dependencies (If Needed)

If you face any error, run:

sudo apt --fix-broken install -y

Then retry the installation command.


Step 5: Verify Google Chrome Installation

Check if Chrome is installed correctly:

google-chrome --version

Example output:

Google Chrome 120.0.6099.109

✅ Chrome is installed successfully!


Step 6: Launch Google Chrome from Terminal

Run:

google-chrome

Or in background mode:

google-chrome &

Step 7: Open Google Chrome from GUI (Optional)

You can also open Chrome from Kali menu:

Applications → Internet → Google Chrome

Step 8: Set Google Chrome as Default Browser (Optional)

Run:

xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop

Step 9: Enable Auto Updates for Chrome

Chrome automatically adds Google’s repository during installation.

To verify:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

This ensures Chrome updates with system updates.


๐Ÿงน Optional: Remove Downloaded File

After installation, clean up:

rm google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

❌ How to Uninstall Google Chrome (If Needed)

sudo apt remove google-chrome-stable -y
sudo apt purge google-chrome-stable -y

๐Ÿง  Common Errors & Fixes

❌ Error: Command 'wget' not found

Fix:

sudo apt install wget -y

❌ Error: Architecture not supported

Chrome works only on 64-bit systems.

Check architecture:

uname -m

Output should be:

x86_64

✅ Conclusion

Installing Google Chrome in Kali Linux using terminal is simple and safe if done correctly.

✔ Official Google package
✔ No third-party sources
✔ Automatic updates
✔ Dependency-safe installation
