Installing Chromium web browser
1 Attachment(s)
Hello there,
I would like to install chromium web browser in ubuntu 12.10, i think ,i downloaded the source(new to this kind of installation)files ,extracted the tar files and found a folder named debian, the contents of the folder is attached as snapshot, help me build and install the package |
Whatcha playing with source for???
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?ke...romium-browser It looks likes it's available through your package manager. |
May I ask why you didn't install the browser from the Ubuntu repositories? I would have just typed:
Code:
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser |

if this is for ubuntu you go into software center in the menus and search for it and click install. you only need source code if you plan on modifying it or adding functionality or making a fork of it... |
didn't worked

You should probably try to correct that, since it means that your package management system is broken. Can you connect to the internet with the machine at all? If so then please give the exact error including the URL it says it is unable to connect to.

i tried this link
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i38...owser/download navigating to the page , i downloaded a file by clicking on the link found at the bottom of the page security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu a file is being downloaded after completion what i should do next(i think its a package) |
You should install it with the command I gave from the repositories because that will ensure that dependencies are met. If you post the error that you received when you tried to run the command I gave you then we can help you to repair whatever is broken.
