Deb file could not be opened on Ubuntu

Hello,

Google Chrome runs on Ubuntu perfectly. But the main problem is, it requires some packages to depend on. So this error is happening.

Open a terminal and run the following commands to install the required packages:

sudo apt-get install libcurl3

sudo apt-get install libnspr4-0d

sudo apt-get install libplc4-0d

sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d

Then, run this command:

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Now it will install perfectly. Sometimes Software Center is not the perfect way, so terminal is the best way to do this task.
