Clear Linux repo and Chrome

Q&A

Hi, Does Clear Linux repo have Chrome browser so I can do 1 click install and would Chrome auto update with system updates?

Clear Linux officially doesn’t support Google Chrome as a bundle. You may use the workaround of downloading a Debian file from Google and extract data file. Someone has made a script for automating this.

Okay, is there Chromium in the app store or is Chromium on the roadmap to be officially supported?

The easiest way to do this is with the GitHub Greginator:

Do it this way:

sudo swupd 3rd-party add greginator https://clear.greginator.xyz/
sudo swupd 3rd-party bundle-add google-chrome-stable

Okay, after I install the generator and chrome bundle, will the generator automatically run and update in the background or something?
