Cannot Get Google Chrome (google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb) to download on VM

Hey @loganthomas,

It seems like the installation of the google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb package is failing due to an unexpected error. There are a few possibilities when experiencing this issue, the file you’ve downloaded could be corrupt or not full, try downloading the package again.

Another way would to go about the problem would be to use a different installation method: Instead of using dpkg to install the package, you can try using the apt package manager to install Google Chrome. Here are the steps to do so:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gdebi
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo gdebi google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Or, you can check your dependencies. It is possible that the installation is failing due to missing dependencies. You can try installing the required dependencies using the following command:

sudo apt-get -f install

This command will install any missing dependencies and fix any broken packages on your system.

Hello @loganthomas

The downloaded file is probably corrupt/incomplete. You can download the file again and try to install it.

You can also attempt the get the file from another source as the one you’re using might not be usable after all.

sudo dpkg -i PACKAGE_NAME.deb

Hope that this helps!
