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 :
<br />deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main<br />deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main<br />Add the apt-key with the following command :
add-apt-key ppa:chromium-daily/ppa
then, update the repository index.
apt-get update
Almost done, install the Chromium package now :
apt-get install chromium-browser
You can browse with your new Chromium.
