Installing with a command line or in the GUI gives both the same error message. Packages are only fot AMD64 architecture not for ARM64

I only can find a .deb file for the amd64 processor. How can i install chrome?

  • I suspect you'll have to ask Google to release it. Chrome was ready to go more than a year ago (on arm it was written), however google have opted to not release it (it's closed source code built on the open source `chromium` browser). You may need to use another browser until you've persuaded google to package it for arm64. – guiverc Aug 28 '20 at 08:50
  • As guiverc mentioned, unless Google releases it, you cannot. Firefox works just fine. If you "need" the same engine as chrome uses, you can install chromium with `sudo snap install chromium` – marosg Aug 28 '20 at 08:55

Chrome is only compiled/distributed for x86 processors but you should be able to use the open source project, Chromium, that Chrome is based upon. You can install it by doing apt install -y chromium-browser

I also had this problem a few days ago mate. Can't install Chrome on my Debian 10 Buster (official) after many .debs tryied.

With some research i reallized that built Debian it's Chromium and it's a Chrome substitute, so i ended up to give up

You just said that you tried to install chrome from terminal. But, how can we know that which command you tried..? I actually install chrome by following steps.

sudo snap install chromium

There's another way to install chrome. Visit the link and download chrome with extension .deb

cd Downloads
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

    Question clearly asks for solution to install Chrome on arm64 not amd64. You have given command to install amd64 package. – Uttam Sep 11 '21 at 13:51
