I am trying to install google chrome for Ubuntu 20.04. I have loaded .deb file from official website into ~/Downloads and ran

sudo apt install ~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb && sudo apt update

But it does not appear in applications and command google-chrome is not available via cli.

The output of apt install ... is:

Reading package lists... Done

Note, selecting 'google-chrome-stable' instead of './google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb'

What problem it can be?

Files google-chrome and google-chrome-stable but they are not executable.

sudo chmod +x ./google-chrome-stable does not make any changes

Sorry if it it is a known issue, but I can`t find any solution here.

It installed. Just hit the SUPER key and type "chrome". Or, the CLI is "google-chrome-stable".

What is the output of `dpkg -L google-chrome-stable | grep bin/` and `which google-chrome-stable`? Have you tried to find Google Chrome in desktop environment menu? What is happened when you execute `google-chrome-stable`?

@N0rbert `dpkg -L google-chrome-stable | grep bin/` outputs `/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable` and `which google-chrome-stable` outputs nothing If I run `google-chrome-stable` or `google-chrome` cli says that there is no such command. If I prefix this commands with `sudo ..` it outputs `ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(90)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported.`

You should not run it as root. What is your desktop environment? Are you running on Xorg or Wayland? Do you have other more serious problems with this system?

@N0rbert No, I have this issue only with google chrome. Tried this OS image on another PC and all works fine. This is a common system on my laptop. This is my screenfetch output: OS: Ubuntu 20.04 focal Kernel: x86_64 Linux 5.11.0-40-generic Shell: sudo WM: Mutter WM Theme: Adwaita GTK Theme: Adwaita [GTK3] Disk: 38G / 52G (78%) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx @ 8x 2,1GHz GPU: AMD/ATI So I need to execute sudo su before any installation or what? Sorry, I am new to linux.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
