Now you have the source for Google's Chromium Project. Now in terminal you will need to type the following command to get the GPG key to make your source authenticated :
Code:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xfbef0d696de1c72ba5a835fe5a9bf3bb4e5e17b5
Once you are done with it, Update your aptitude package manager so that chromium is detected :
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Now when the update finishes, you are ready to download and install Chromium Browser on your system :

If you get any error about dependencies, you can install Chromium from Synaptic Package Manager which will install all the dependencies along with Chromium...
Have Fun!!
