I'm having issues in Debian 13 with trying to install Google Chrome browser in the terminal or installing anything for that matter I get Error: unsupported file or other same type of error when trying to install anything. I ran SUDO update and all packages are up to date.
Issues with installing things
- Thread starter Retro6
- Start date
I type this command
sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
Then I get
Error: unsupported file
I also tried
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
And it looks like its doing something but then I get Run (13: Permission denied)
sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
Then I get
Error: unsupported file
I also tried

I tried that and get...
dpkg: error: cannot access archive 'chromepath.deb': no such file or directory.
You're supposed to put the actual path to your chrome
So either cd into the directory or do it as a /path/to/chromeinstaller

Something strange happened, when I opened my browser it turned into Google Chrome so even though it gave an Error in the terminal somehow it actually installed and replaced FireFox, I would have liked to of had both FireFox & Chrome but I'm happy with Chrome.
Edit: I do still have FireFox ESR as well as Chrome in applications. Excellent.
