I have chromium installed on CentOS 7 and it works fine, I now need to install it on a CentOS 6 workstation. However, it is not available in EPEL as it is for C 7. From what I understand, this is because it is already available in a supplementary channel from RHEL for C 6. Is this the recommended method for installing it on C 6? https://www.tecmint.com/install-google-chrome-on-redhat-centos-fedora-linux/

The current google repo releases, (which install without any issues and work well on centos-7) are: stable.x86_64 62.0.3202.94-1 beta.x86_64 63.0.3239.59-1 while the epel one is: 61.0.3163.100-1 which was the "google stable" release in late september, and is about five releases back.

In this case, it is the flash library that is not completely open for rebuilding. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I was not familiar with it.
