Download from google.com (select Debian/Ubuntu package .deb).
As root, while in the directory where the downloaded file is,
run `dpkg -i downloaded_file`, e.g.:
dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
If the above fails with dependency errors (not uncommon), then run:
apt-get -f install
which should install missing dependencies and then complete the
installation of google-chrome. This package from Google not only
installs google-chrome, but also adds Google's package repository to
your system, so the updates to google-chrome will be installed with
regular Debian package management tools.
