Install Chromium on Ubuntu
Chromium is an open-source and webkit based browser project . The Chromium codebase is the basis for Google’s Chrome browser. Getting this installed in Ubuntu isn’t too much hassle.
First you need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
and place the following in it:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
Replace karmic with jaunty or intrepid as you need to for your version.
Now add the GPG key using the following command
sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xfbef0d696de1c72ba5a835fe5a9bf3bb4e5e17b5
and then
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
Now if you look under Applications –> Internet. Chromium should be there.
