Hello,

I would like to install Google Chrome on Linux.

To do this, I followed the instructions in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf4A4uCo4Yw

But when I reached the package installer, an error message appeared:
Error Incorrect "amd 64" architecture

What does this mean and what should I do?

Thank you in advance for your responses :)

In the console:
sudo apt-get install chrome

There you go, normally it should install the packages you are interested in.

Regarding the error. The AMD64 architecture is the architecture for 64-bit processors. It's possible that you installed a 64-bit version on a 32-bit processor (i386) (YES! YES! IT'S POSSIBLE! THE AMD64 REGISTER is an extension of i386, I can see eager computer scientists coming) so when you download a package, your package manager downloads the packages for AMD64 whereas your OS cannot run them...

I don't have any mint on hand, but it's quite possible that Chrome is not in the default repositories. However, Chromium is there.

It's possible that you installed a 64-bit version on a 32-bit processor (i386) (YES! YES! IT'S POSSIBLE! THE AMD64 REGISTER is an extension of the i386, I can already see the budding IT professionals coming)


It might be possible, but I don't see how one could do that inadvertently. Having already gotten stuck between two CDs, the installer of a 64-bit OS will quickly complain and say it's not compatible with the architecture.

Not necessarily, that's actually how I discovered that we could :D

Otherwise, indeed, it was sudo aptitude install chromium

Hello

I think the easiest thing would be to install Chromium, which is the same browser as Chrome, but has the advantage of being available in the repositories.

Given the tutorial, I think you are using Linux Mint, right?

Thank you for your response Henry,

The problem is that it doesn't offer me the 32-bit version at the moment of installation....

I think I will install Chromium as you advised me Pierre :)

And yes, I am using Linux Mint!

Pour vérifier quelle version (32 ou 64 bits) de Windows vous utilisez, suivez ces étapes : 1. Cliquez sur le bouton Démarrer ou appuyez sur la touche Windows. 2. Tapez "Panneau de configuration" et appuyez sur Entrée. 3. Cliquez sur "Système et sécurité", puis sur "Système". 4. Dans la section "Système", vous verrez une mention de « Type de système », où il est indiqué si votre système d'exploitation est 32 bits ou 64 bits. Pour les utilisateurs de Mac : 1. Cliquez sur le menu Apple en haut à gauche de l'écran. 2. Sélectionnez "À propos de ce Mac". 3. Cliquez sur "Rapport système". 4. Dans la section "Matériel", recherchez "Processeur". Si le processeur est un modèle 64 bits, vous utilisez une version 64 bits de macOS. Pour les utilisateurs de Linux : 1. Ouvrez un terminal. 2. Tapez la commande `uname -m` et appuyez sur Entrée. 3. Si la sortie est `x86_64`, vous êtes sur un système 64 bits. Si c'est `i686` ou `i386`, vous êtes sur un système 32 bits.

And when I enter `sudo apt-get install chrome` in the console, I get a message "unable to find chrome" ....

(It's the first time I'm using a console :D :D :D)

It seemed to me that Chrome is not available in the Mint repositories.

The repositories are a list of software that can be easily installed on your distribution.

You can try:

sudo apt-get install chromium

But you don't have to go through the command line, Mint also has graphical package managers that allow you to install software.

If you're using the Cinnamon desktop, you have a manager in the menu on the left side;

Hallelujah! I found it easily on the internet!

But indeed, I have a manager. I'm discovering Linux by default after breaking my computer that was running Windows 10, but actually it's great!!!

Thanks anyway for your help :)

Wait a bit before the installation. It’s better to go through the manager than to take software like that from the net.

The first advantage is that your software will be automatically kept up to date, which is not the case for software taken like that from the net.
