I'm new to Linux Ubuntu. I was using ChromePlus in Windows 7, it also has a Linux version. So I downloaded it. It's a chromeplus*.tar.gz
file. I use the command tar xvzf chromeplus*.tar.gz
to unzip the file and got a bunch of files. I really have no idea about how to run the chrome browser. Is it installed already or I need more steps? There's no ./configure
and read-me
file.

From what I see, what you have downloaded is a compressed precompiled binary. You can start it by going to the folder where you have extracted it and double-clicking on chrome or typing ./chrome
if you are in terminal. However, on my system it complains about a missing library file:
./chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libplc4.so.0d: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have managed to fix this error by copying three of these files from /usr/lib/firefox (without the .0d) extension and to /usr/lib with the added .0d extension. This is the list of files that I had to copy:
libnspr4.so
libplc4.so
libplds4.so
IMHO, I agree with SirCarlo's comment, you'd probably be better off with Chromium, the font rendering in this program feels weird on my system.

and it offers deb package to install. coolnovo.com/download.html?hl=en is it the same software
