Use sudo to become root.

$ sudo su -

1	$ sudo su -

Now use wget to download google’s key and pipe it into apt-key.

# wget -q -O -https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -

1	# wget -q -O -https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -

Add the repository to /etc/apt/sources.list

# echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

1	# echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

Now update and install away….

# apt-get update # apt-get install google-chrome-beta # apt-get install google-desktop-linux # apt-get install picasa

1 2 3 4

# apt-get update # apt-get install google-chrome-beta # apt-get install google-desktop-linux # apt-get install picasa

If you want a simple way to browse the repositories, try aptitude.

# aptitude

1	# aptitude

I had to become root rather than using sudo in front of the wget. I don’t know why; I didn’t take the time to figure it out. I just used sudo to become root without having to know the root password.
