Chromium is an open source project from Google that was released with the BSD License. Chromium has the same rendering engine in Safari called WebKit. Then, how to install Chromium on Ubuntu? It’s simple!
I’m using Karmic Koala, the following way should be works on Interpid or Jaunty. You just need to adjust the distribution name.
It is assumed that you have logged in as root.
First, add the following two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list :
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic maindeb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic mainAdd the apt-key with the following command :
add-apt-key ppa:chromium-daily/ppa
then, update the repository index.
