How to Install Google Chrome on Backtrack 5

Posted on 5 Aug by Unknown

Open the Konsole – Terminal (or whatever funky name you call it with)
Execute the following command to download the program (apt-get install chromium-browser)
We need to make a few changes in the system to make it work. So switch to Chrome’s directory with following command (cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser)
This is the step you need to follow in order to be able to run Chrome as root user:
- Open Hex editor with the command (hexedit chromium-browser)
- Now search for geteuid with the command (ctrl+s geteuid)
- Replace it with getppid and save with the command (getppid ctrl+x)
Now you should be able to run Google Chrome on your Backtrack 5 along with root privileges.
