Chromium is a free and open-source web browser developed by Google. It is the foundation for Google Chrome, one of the most popular web browsers. Chromium is known for its speed and security and is a great alternative to other web browsers. It is highly customizable and has a clean and simple interface, making it easy to use.
Before we begin, make sure to have a Linux Panel PC with a working internet connection. You can use either the command-line interface or the graphical user interface to install Chromium on your Linux Panel PC. In this article, we will use the command line to install Chromium.
To start, open the terminal on your Linux Panel PC by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. Once the terminal is open, type the following command:
sudo apt-get update
This command will update the package list on your Linux Panel PC, ensuring that you have the latest version of the software.
Next, we need to install the necessary packages for Chromium. Type the following command and press Enter:
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser -y
This command will install the Chromium browser along with any necessary dependencies. The flag “-y” tells the package manager to automatically answer Yes to any prompts.
Once the installation is complete, you can launch Chromium by typing the following command:
chromium-browser
This command will open the Chromium browser on your Linux Panel PC. You can also launch Chromium from the Applications menu in your graphical user interface.
