How do I install an older version of Google Chrome?












4















I'm not to familiar with Ubuntu, but I need to install the previous version because the current one has some bugs.



I went to here and found the version that I wanted: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/google_chrome/stable/main/base/google-chrome-stable



Naturally, I tried to install it with apt-get:
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable=51.0.2704.106-1



However, after running that command, I received this message and I tried Googling the issue and couldn't find a solution:



ubuntu@box533:~$ sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable=51.0.2704.106-1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '51.0.2704.106-1' for 'google-chrome-stable' was not found
ubuntu@box533:~$


How can I install an older version of Google Chrome via command line?

            I managed to install older Chrome very easy. I first installed latest Chrome (v64). Then installed older v61 version from here:



            https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/artful/universe/base/chromium-browser



            with this command:



            sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra chromium-browser_61.0.3163.100-0ubuntu1.1378_amd64.deb 


            also, make sure to block updates like this:



            sudo apt-mark hold chromium-browser


            You just run it as dkpg -i on your dist and see if some dep fail.. and if it does, your chance is to list it with --ignore-depends= flag and see if it goes through.



            I've used this on my Ubuntu 16.04x64 because on newer versions > v64 you can't use .dev for staging for web dev purposes, see details here:



            https://ma.ttias.be/chrome-force-dev-domains-https-via-preloaded-hsts/

                          I managed to install older Chrome very easy. I first installed latest Chrome (v64). Then installed older v61 version from here:



                          https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/artful/universe/base/chromium-browser



                          with this command:



                          sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra chromium-browser_61.0.3163.100-0ubuntu1.1378_amd64.deb 


                          also, make sure to block updates like this:



                          sudo apt-mark hold chromium-browser


                          You just run it as dkpg -i on your dist and see if some dep fail.. and if it does, your chance is to list it with --ignore-depends= flag and see if it goes through.



                          I've used this on my Ubuntu 16.04x64 because on newer versions > v64 you can't use .dev for staging for web dev purposes, see details here:



                          https://ma.ttias.be/chrome-force-dev-domains-https-via-preloaded-hsts/



                          output from cli is:



                          krex@krex-N752VX:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg  -i --ignore-depends=chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra chromium-browser_61.0.3163.100-0ubuntu1.1378_amd64.deb
