1What have you tried so far? – K7AAY May 8 '20 at 16:56
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux/build_instructions.md provides the procedure.
Install depot_tools
by cloning the depot_tools
repository:
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
Add depot_tools
to the end of your PATH (you will probably want to put this in your ~/.bashrc
or ~/.zshrc
). Assuming you cloned depot_tools
to /path/to/depot_tools
:
export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/depot_tools"
When cloning depot_tools
to your home directory do not use ~
on PATH, otherwise gclient runhooks will fail to run. Rather, you should use either $HOME or the absolute path:
export PATH="$PATH:${HOME}/depot_tools"
Get the code for 72.0.3626.121 with
mkdir ~/chromium && cd ~/chromium && fetch --nohooks --no-history chromium
install additional build dependencies with
./build/install-build-deps.sh
run the hooks with
gclient runhooks
set up the build with
gn gen out/Default
paying attention to modifications for faster builds if you wish, then build Chromium with
autoninja -C out/Default chrome
-
not cleared,can you please provide commands to install Chromium 72.0.3626.121 so that i can execute directly because i am new in this. – prathamesh yemul May 8 '20 at 17:15

Just follow along
wget
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+archive/72.0.3626.121.tar.gz
this is the source file that you wantConfigure it after you go through the INSTALL / README - each source is very different. This will tell you how ready your system is with configuration, dependencies and libraries
If you get an error youre in luck - you know exactly the dep/lib missing. Get after figuring this dependency/library - start a new google search adn figure how to install it. One of the easiest configurations and installs from source is the CMAKE program - you will probably never fail in installing from source.
Once config is done - you only need to make. Make is a command so just use
make
- but./makefile
should be used with an executable file. Id follow what the README saysYou can use checkinstall if you want to manage your package with a package manager. I would.
