Getting the Ubuntu Package

As the Chromium web browser is Free Software it can be found in the package repositories of Linux distributions. To build Custom Partitions, use the software packages from exactly that Ubuntu version on which your version of IGEL OS is based. From IGEL OS 10.04 up to IGEL OS 11.03, this is Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus). You need packages for the amd64 (also known as x86_64) architecture.

This is how to find the right package and download it to your Linux workstation:

1. In a web browser, go to https://packages.ubuntu.com
   

2. Use the Search package directories form to search

   1. Set Keyword to chromium

   2. Set Distribution to xenial

   3. Click Search.

   

3. On the results page, click the chromium-browser package to go to its details page.
   

4. At the bottom of the details page, click the amd64 link to download the package to a local directory on your Linux workstation.
