How to install chromium browser in Fedora

There exists an open source project for the development of Google Chrome. The project is named as chromium and the browser chromium(according to documentation, only the project name is chromium, 'chrome' should be used instead) and is released under BSD license.

There are different ways of installing chrome.

• Using the wine bundle provided by CodeWeavers which is also called as crossover chromium.
• From the trunk build of chromium development website. It is not publically available but it can be used to see how far the development has reached and what will it look like after release. 
• Tom 'Spot' Callaway, the Fedora engineering manager, has created a repo for pre compiled version of chromium browser.

In this article, I will show you how to install it using the 3^rd way. First of all create a chromium.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d directory.

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/chromium.repo

Then copy these lines in that file.

name=Chromium Test Packages
baseurl=http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F$releasever/
enabled=1
