Google Chrome RPM Installation Guide

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for downloading and rebuilding the Google Chrome RPM package on a RPM-based Linux distribution.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

• rpmrebuild: A tool for rebuilding RPM packages.
• rpmbuild: The RPM Package Manager build tool.

Installation Steps

1. Download Google RPM

   # Replace <URL> with the actual download URL
   wget <URL>/google-chrome-stable-119.0.6045.199-1.x86_64.rpm
   

2. Rebuild the RPM Package

   rpmrebuild -s google-chrome-stable.spec -p google-chrome-stable-119.0.6045.199-1.x86_64.rpm
   

3. Extract the Contents

   rpm2cpio google-chrome-stable-119.0.6045.199-1.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
   

4. Move Google Chrome to the Desired Location

   mv opt/google usr/bin/
   

5. Create Symbolic Links

   cd usr/bin/
   rm -f google-chrome-stable
   ln -s google/chrome/google-chrome google-chrome-stable
   ln -s google/chrome/google-chrome chrome
   cd ../..
   

6. Create RPM Build Directory

   mkdir -p $HOME/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/google-chrome-stable-119.0.6045.199-1.x86_64
   

7. Copy Files to RPM Build Directory

   for i in etc usr; do cp -r $i $HOME/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/google-chrome-stable-119.0.6045.199-1.x86_64/; done
   

8. Build the RPM Package

   rpmbuild -bb google-chrome-stable.spec
   

After completing these steps, you should have successfully downloaded, rebuilt, and repackaged the Google Chrome RPM for your system. The resulting RPM package will be available in the RPM build directory ($HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/).

Note: Ensure that you replace <URL> with the actual download URL of the Google Chrome RPM.
