Clear Linux

I try to install Google Chrome on Clear Linux but have some issues. When I use yum install google chrome rpm, it requires ca-certificates. I already install ca-certs rpm from https://download.clearlinux.org/curr...4/os/Packages/ but it still requires ca-certificates. I also tried to install ca-certificates rpm for Fedora but it requires p11-kit-trust. Actually, this package is already install with the name p11-trust in Clear Linux.
Therefore, I cannot find the way to install Chrome on Clear Linux. Anyone has experience with this? Thank you!

Just a wild guess but I think it is asking you to verify the download location for Chrome. (could be wrong too)

Can you consider using the supported firefox or use Intel Clear Containers to install stateless programs?

It required package ca-certificates, not the download location I think.
Yeah, Firefox is good but I often use Chrome to sync my data between all platforms. I'll try Intel Clear Containers later. Thank you for your suggestion!

Maybe ca's are installed but you also need to update them?

It is the latest version. I think the issue is Clear Linux use different package name.
- Install Chrome -> requires ca-certificates while ca-certs is installed
- Install ca-certificates package -> requires p11-kit-trust while p11-trust is installed

The ca's (themselves) not the program.

There is a lot going on here that I can't really answer.

The source of your chrome, the ability clear to use build from source or yum/rpm's.

The exact error you have.

May have to add in google chromes or other based on chrome build instructions.

Did you test ca's by some means?

Just a footnote, ca stands for certificate authority, so a ca-certs package is generic. There can any number of them that contain (or omit) any number of certs. It would be more helpful if you knew which cert the system is looking for.
