I’m using the following version of Linux
[davea@mydevbox mydir]$ uname -a
Linux mydevbox.mydomain.com 1.3.8-18.52.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 16 17:15:34 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I’m trying to install chrome but do not seem to be able to figure out what the right package is. I tried this
[davea@mydevbox mydir]$ sudo yum install google-chrome
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper

amzn-main/latest | 2.1 kB 00:00
amzn-updates/latest | 2.3 kB 00:00
No package google-chrome available.
Error: Nothing to do
How do I install Chrome on my system?
uname
is pretty useless in a case like this. More useful would be checkingcat /etc/redhat-release
orcat /etc/debian_version
depending on whether you are using a RedHat or Debian flavor of Linux. If you are attempting to useyum
that means the output ofcat /etc/redhat-release
would be what you need to check.
