If you haven’t already installed git, you have to install it first: sudo apt-get install git If the installation above failed (for any reason) or you want to inspect / change the code, this is how you can do it (you must have a Raspberry Pi Model 2B / 3, because the models before have not 4 kernels): This is why I recommend the first option, if you only want to install it quickly. But you should know that the files to download are about 15 gigabyte (after installing in fact 22 GB). The code is not available on GitHub, but that makes no difference for cloning and compiling the repository. If you want to compile the Raspberry Pi Chrome (Chromium) Browser yourself, visit their Google Source repository where you can also check the code.
Install Chromium on Raspberry Pi’s by using git Now click the start button and navigate to “Internet” where you will find the Chromium shortcut.Īs you see, the graphical interface is similar to Google Chrome’s on desktop PC’s: Otherwise you can also establish a remote desktop connection. That’s all! If you are connected through SSH or not using the graphical user interface, you should start ( startx). Then, you can install it also by using the packet manager: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser -yesĪlternatively you can install the package chromium-browser instead of chromium. Open a terminal and type in: sudo apt-get update Install Chromium on your Raspberry Pi with apt-getĪt first, we have to update our packages. For beginners or those who are just interested in installing it quickly, the first way is more recommended. As long as you use a Linux distribution (Raspbian Wheezy, etc.) you can use both ways. We can even run this operating system on Raspberry Pi’s (check out reddit), but we can also just install the Chromium web browser on our Pi’s.īasically there are two options to install it on your Raspberry Pi.
This system is installed on many laptops (Chromebooks: US / UK). There is even an operating system called Chromium / Chrome OS. In fact, Chrome is based on the open source project Chromium. In this tutorial I will show how to install Chromium on a Raspberry Pi. Since it is a opensource project, you can get also Chrome for Raspberry Pi’s. Due to some statistics Chrome is used on more than half of all PC’s of the world. Google Chrome is one of the fastest and most widely used web browsers for desktop computers.
