Installing Google Chrome (& Repository) on Fedora

First use wget to download the GPG key:

$ wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Next import to RPM:

$ rpm --import linux_signing_key.pub

Now create and edit a file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ named google.repo

$ sudo gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo &

Edit the file to contain the following:

[google64]
name=Google-x86_64
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Finally use yum to update and install chrome:

$ sudo yum install chrome
$ sudo yum update
