Some time ago I had a few issues/problems that I could not solve using Safari or Opera. In my daily life I use two web browsers, depending on the situation almost always Safari and sometimes Opera (do you know it has a VPN built into it? :) ). In this article, I will show you how to install Google Chrome in macOS :) Let’s begin. I was needed Google Chrome to complete a task that could not be done with other web browsers. This in return will copy the application file.Recently, I discovered that the two web browsers that I use every day are not enough for me and I decided to install a third one. Once you mount the DMG, you’ll notice an arrow pointing to the Applications shortcut folder, just follow the arrow as a guide and drag the intended file. This will install software and you can later access it from the local memory of your mac. Once you’ve download the files, all you need is to mount it and then drag the intended application to the ~/Applications folder. Conclusion:ĭMG files work similar to USB sticks.

The easiest method is to use GUI and install DMG by drag and drop method.

The terminal method is’t preferable as any key-slip can cause command issues. Go to Applications folder in Finder and there you’ll find your newly installed Google Chrome browser using the DMG file.Unmount DMG file by using command hdiutil unmount “/Volumes/Google Chrome/”.Copy the Google Chrome.app by using command sudo cp -R “/Volumes/Google Chrome/Google Chrome.app” /Applications.Mount DMG file using command hdutil mount googlechrome.dmg and output will show a path like /Volumes/Google Chrome as the mounted location.Open terminal on macOS and navigate to the DMG file location.The process of installation is simple, follow this guide: You can also use terminal on macOS to install DMG file. First you’ll need to mount the DMG file, second drag the application file to the shortcut applicatios folder, third access the application through the /Applications. Similarly, you can install any other application using the DMG file.

Drag the application icon of mounted DMG file into the folder shown and this will conclude the installation
