Install the Chromium browser on CentOS/RHEL6.5

Yes, as Google said before, because CentOS/RHEL6 is already an expired system, Chrome will no longer be available. Although it was later caused by community protests and thus changed the port, it was no longer mentioned that CentOS/RHEL6 is an expired system. However, currently there is no Chrome download and use on CentOS/RHEL6. In fact, the root cause is not CentOS/RH

Yes, as Google said before, because CentOS/RHEL6 is already an expired system, Chrome will no longer be available. Although it was later caused by community protests and thus changed the port, it was no longer mentioned that CentOS/RHEL6 is an expired system. However, currently there is no Chrome available for download and use on CentOS/RHEL 6.

In fact, the root cause is not how old CentOS/RHEL 6 is. Chrome can continue to be used even for Windows XP and Ubuntu10.04, which stops updates. The actual reason is that due to various considerations, Chrome cannot continue to update Chrome on CentOS/RHEL 6 because it uses C ++ 11 not supported in CentOS/RHEL 6.

So what if I want to continue using Chrome before CentOS/RHEL7 is available? Use Chrome's open-source version: Chromium.

1. switch to root:

Su-or sudo-I

2. download the new software source definition:

Cd/etc/yum. repos. d

Wgethttp: // people.Centos. Org/hughesjr/chromium/6/chromium-el6.repo

3. Install Chromium:

Yum install chromium

This completes the installation.

You can use the menu to start the browser:

 

After startup:

To view the Flash and PDF files, follow these steps to install the plug-in.

4. install the Pepper Flash plug-in: 4.1 download the hughesjr installation script:

Cd/tmp

Wgethttps: // raw.github.com/hughesjr/chromium_el_builder/master/chrome_pepperflash_copy.sh

4.2 set chrome_pepperflash_copy.sh to execute:

Chmod + x chrome_pepperflash_copy.sh

4.3 execute the script for installation (you can check the script content to understand what happened ):

./Chrome_pepperflash_copy.sh

After the installation, if you need to start it through the command line (with Flash support), you can enter the following command:

/Opt/chromium/chrome-wrapper % U -- ppapi-flash-path =/opt/chromium/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer. so -- ppapi-flash-version = $ (grep '"version":'/opt/chromium/PepperFlash/manifest. json | grep-Po '(? <= Version ":")(? : \ D | \.)*')

You can also modify the corresponding commands in the system menu.

 

5. install the Google Chrome PDF Viewer plug-in: 5.1 download the hughesjr installation script:

Cd/tmp

Wgethttps: // raw.github.com/hughesjr/chromium_el_builder/master/chrome_lib1__copy.sh

5.2 set chrome_lib1__copy.sh to execute:

Chmod + x chrome_lib1__copy.sh

5.3 execute the script for installation (you can check the script content to understand what happened ):

./Chrome_lib1__copy.sh
