Before you start

Google Chrome doesn't come pre-installed on AlmaLinux 10, and it's not in the default repositories either. We'll grab it directly from Google.

Heads up: On AlmaLinux 10, there's one extra step compared to older versions — we need to import Google's signing key first, or the install will fail. I'll walk you through it.

Step 1: Update your system packages

Before installing anything new, it's always good practice to update your system. This makes sure all your existing packages are current, which helps avoid dependency issues later.

sudo dnf update -y

Enter your password if asked for.

Step 1: Update your system packages

Step 2: Import Google's signing key

On AlmaLinux 10, before we install Chrome, we need to import Google's signing key.

curl -O https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
sudo rpm --import --nodigest --nosignature linux_signing_key.pub

You'll probably see a couple of warning lines pop up about the key. Don't worry — that's normal. Red Hat dropped support for the older signing method AlmaLinux 10 uses, but Google's key still imports fine. The actual Chrome package is verified separately when we install it, so there's nothing to fix here.

Step 2: Import Google's signing key

Step 3: Install Chrome with DNF

We'll use DNF and point it straight at Google's RPM, which handles the download and any dependencies automatically.

sudo dnf install https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm -y

Using DNF here instead of RPM is important — it resolves dependencies for us so we don't run into missing library errors.

Step 3: Install Chrome with DNF

Step 4: Verify the install

Once that finishes, let's confirm everything installed successfully.

google-chrome-stable --version

As you can see, Google Chrome has been successfully installed.

Step 4: Verify the install

Step 5: Launch Chrome

We can launch from the terminal, or from the applications menu.

From the terminal:

google-chrome-stable

From the applications menu: Go to your applications menu and double-click the Chrome icon.

Step 5: Launch Chrome

Finished result — Google Chrome running

That's it. You've got Google Chrome up and running on AlmaLinux 10.

FAQ

Red Hat dropped support for the older signing method that AlmaLinux 10 relies on. This means the key import command produces warning lines, but the key still imports fine and the Chrome package is verified separately at install time. This is a known change from Red Hat, not a problem with your system.
No. You'll probably see a couple of warning lines pop up about the key. That's normal — Red Hat dropped support for the older signing method AlmaLinux 10 uses, but Google's key still imports fine. The actual Chrome package is verified separately when we install it, so there's nothing to fix here.
