And this means that you can launch any application available in x86 Linux world, including Google Chrome! Using ExaGear Desktop allows you to get full x86 Linux environment. Good news that there is a simple solution to override this issue. For example, you can watch videos on Netflix or Amazon Prime with Chrome and can’t with Chromium. Chrome includes a number of proprietary libraries and in some cases you need to use authentic Google software. Many Pi-world enthusiasts use the open source version of Chrome – Chromium browser. You can use a number of other browsers (such as Epiphany, IceWeasel or even Lynx), but will face lack of functionality. But unfortunately, they can’t meet together – there is no Chrome build for Raspberry Pi (and for any other ARM-based PC except Chromebook). And Raspberry Pi is the most popular mini-PC device. Then: Starting the shell in the guest image /opt/exagear/images/debian-8ĥ.) Now you are in the x86 environment that can be checked by running the ‘arch’ command: $ archĦ.) It is recommended to update apt-get repositories on the first launch of the guest system: $ sudo apt-get updateĨ.) Install Chrome: $ sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_.116-1_i386.Google Chrome is one of the most popular browsers all over the world. install-exagear.shĤ.)

Press F3 key to save changes and F2 to close the file. So you will have to find this line: CONF_SWAPSIZE=100Īnd then change it into: CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048 You should change it to 2000MB in the configuration file. Open configuration file in Terminal (command line) using the following command: $ sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile Regardless of what everyone else says it is possible to install google chrome and all other x86 apps on raspberry pi! Here is a simple instruction on how to install and run Google Chrome on your RPi 3 device.ġ.) Google Chrome is CPU intensive application, therefore, we recommend to increase swap space.
