Google Chrome RHEL 7.6 install issue
Hi, I tried to install Google Chrome to RHEL 7.6 and got this message: "Public key for google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm is not installed" What can I do to get this installed? Thanks very much! :)

Hi GD,
The package liberation-fonts is available in the optional repository - execute these commands to install Google Chrome :
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-extras-rpms
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
Additionally I recommend to add the EPEL repository ... this repository might be needed for installing other applications later on.
sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Add the Google Chrome repository :
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo
Insert the following lines :
[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome
baseurl=https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
Now update the software sources and install the application :
sudo yum update
sudo yum install google-chrome-stable

Christian
Hi CL, Is there any way to fix this issue when you don't have subscription and in absence of this I am getting below error while trying to install chrome on rhel 7.6. Appreciate your advise.
bash-4.2# subscription-manager repos
This system has no repositories available through subscriptions.

Thanks Christian Labisch. I was wondering about the repo for the fonts. :)

You're welcome, Anthony ! :) Fonts ? ... not sure what you mean ... Chrome uses the fonts which are installed and available. If you want to use other fonts that are not available from the repositories, just install them manually. :)

Hi Christian. Followed your instructions (already tried some other solutions found elsewhere) but after "yum update" I keep getting:
google-chrome | 1.3 kB 00:00:00
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel/workstation/7/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 403 - Forbidden
Trying other mirror.
To address this issue please refer to the below knowledge base article
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/69319
If above article doesn't help to resolve this issue please open a ticket with Red Hat Support.
One of the configured repositories failed (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Workstation Beta (RPMs)), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
yum --disablerepo=rhel-7-workstation-beta-rpms ...
4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable rhel-7-workstation-beta-rpms
or
subscription-manager repos --disable=rhel-7-workstation-beta-rpms
5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=rhel-7-workstation-beta-rpms.skip_if_unavailable=true
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from rhel-7-workstation-beta-rpms: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel/workstation/7/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 403 - Forbidden I guess there's something wrong with my repositories configuration...
Solved! Sorry I missed the link https://access.redhat.com/solutions/69319 Followed those instructions, redid your procedure and everything worked out! Thanks anyway, Michela

Thank you for this post and solution, I was able to get chrome installed on 7.6.
Hi All, I am getting below error while trying to install Chrome on "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.6 (Maipo)" using command as "yum -y localinstall google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm".
Error ----
Error: Package: google-chrome-stable-73.0.3683.86-1.x86_64 (/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64) Requires: liberation-fonts
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Please suggest to fix this.
Cheers! SG
