I downloaded Chrome, opened with Ubuntu software, but when I press install - nothing happens. In the bottom I get a message - this software comes from a 3-rd party and may contain non-free components
. What do I do to install? Is it something in system settings?

1Is your system a 32bit or 64bit version? Cause as I know Google chrome don't support 32 bit version anymore.– Sina R.Jul 13, 2016 at 18:55

).
sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
Thanks for all the help!

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! I recommend editing this answer to expand it with specific details about how to do this. (See also How do I write a good answer? for general advice about what sorts of answers are considered most valuable on Ask Ubuntu.) Jul 13, 2016 at 23:37
Sometimes there are dependencies that don't install for some reason. Open a terminal and go to the folder where the .deb file is.
Type sudo dpkg -i ./google*
and it should install it.
If you get an error about dependencies, type sudo apt-get install -f
and it will install all the dependencies and then Chrome.
