An earlier article described how to install Opera browser in Manjaro Linux. As Opera is already included in the official repository, installing it was pretty simple.

Google Chrome however is not included in this (as of now – Sep 2017). But it can still be installed by using the Arch Linux User Repository (AUR).

Here is how :

Go to Add/Remove Software from the main menu.

Click on the horizontal lines icon at top right and choose Preferences.

From the AUR tab, select Enable AUR support and tick the two options.

Note : This is not the official Manjaro repository but is maintained by Arch Linux user community so packages available here are not tested for Manjaro and may break.

Once AUR is enabled, search for google-chrome. Different versions will now be visible and ready for build and install.

Choose Commit for build process to finish.

Hopefully Chrome will soon be officially available in Manjaro repository.
