[rhel7@rhel7 ~]$ wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm



Once downloaded install chrome package using yum command. This way the package management system will all retrieve and installs all necessary perquisites in other to avoid the following error message:

[root@rhel7 rhel7]# rpm -i google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
