install chrome in fedora 12

Installing Google Chrome from the rpm file specified in google chrome site didn't work for me. So, below are the steps which worked for me.


Step-1: Create a chromium.repo file in your /etc/yum.repos.d directory
Step-2: add below contents to chromium.repo file
[chromium]
name=Chromium Test Packages
baseurl=http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Step-3: yum install chromium
