Update Debian 12

Updating the Debian will make sure that every package is updated in our Debian and we will use the following command:

Add GPG Key For Chrome

After that, we need to add the Google Chrome GPG key. It will help the installation process of Google Chrome Packages. So, before adding the Google Repository, we should add the GPG key.

curl -fSsL https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/google-chrome.gpg >> /dev/null

Add Chrome Repository

Now we are ready to add the official repository of Chrome. It can be done by simply running the following command in Debian.

echo deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/google-chrome.gpg] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

Hit enter and launch it,

Here we go, we have successfully installed Google Chrome in our Debian 12.

Conclusion

Installing Google Chrome on Debian 12 is a process that, while not overly complex, does require some knowledge of command-line operations. We have walked through each step of this process, from updating the system to adding the necessary GPG Key for Chrome, setting up the Google Chrome Repository, and finally installing the browser itself.

With Google Chrome now installed on your Debian 12, you can take advantage of the browser’s superior speed, wide range of extensions, and user-friendly interface to maximize your productivity.
