### Objective

The objective is to install Google Chrome web browser on Kali Linux. See an appendix for a possible issue troubleshooting.

### Requirements

Privileged access to your Kali Linux installation or Live system is required.

### Difficulty

EASY

### Conventions

*   **#** - requires given command to be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of `sudo` command
*   **$** - given command to be executed as a regular non-privileged user

### Instructions

### Download Google Chrome

To start, use `wget` command to download a latest Google Chrome debian package:
```
# wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
```

### Install Google Chrome

The easiest way to install google chrome on you Kali Linux is to by use of `gdebi` which will automatically download all depended packages.
```
# gdebi google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
```

### Start Google Chrome

To start Google Chrome, open up a terminal and run `google-chrome` command:
```
$ google-chrome
```

### Appendix

#### Illegal Instruction

The `Illegal Instruction` error message appears when running the `google-chrome` command as privileged root user. Since by default Kali Linux's default user is root, we need to create a dummy non-privileged user eg. `linuxconfig`, and use this user to start Google Chrome browser:
```
# useradd -m -d /home/linuxconfig linuxconfig
# su linuxconfig -c google-chrome
```

#### Package libappindicator1 is not installed

```
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of google-chrome-stable:
 google-chrome-stable depends on libappindicator1; however:
  Package libappindicator1 is not installed.
```
To resolve Google Chrome's dependencies problems use `gdebi` to install Google Chrome's debian package. See above.
