Installs Google Chrome stable version.

try on your machine

The command "apt-get install google-chrome-stable" is used in Linux-based operating systems to install the stable version of the Google Chrome web browser.

Here's what each part of the command means:

  • "apt-get" is a package management command-line tool used in Debian-based Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu) to handle package installations, updates, and removals.

  • "install" is the command that specifies you want to install a package or software.

  • "google-chrome-stable" is the actual name of the package you want to install. In this case, it is the stable version of the Google Chrome browser. The "stable" version means that it is a highly reliable and bug-free release intended for general use.

When you run this command, the package manager will connect to the appropriate software repositories configured on your system, check for the package's availability, and if found, it will download and install the Google Chrome browser on your Linux system.
