Chromium is the open source project behind Google Chrome. Chromium browser is available as source based install from the Chromium website, and has been available in Ubuntu‘s default repository since Maverick Meerkat (10.10). This means that you’ll no longer need to include the chromium-daily‘s PPA repository in order to install the Chromium browser in your system.

To install the Chromium browser in your system, follow these steps at the terminal.

  1. Update package list. 

    sudo apt update
  2. Install chromium. 

    sudo apt install chromium-browser
  3. You can now open Chromium from your application list or type the following command at the terminal; 

    chromium-browser
