I bought an Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, and I cannot, in anyway, install the Pi Store or Chromium. I have only been able to somehow install the Google App, which wasn't what I was exactly looking for. I've tried:

sudo apt-get install pistore
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pistore
sudo apt-get install chromium
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install chromium

Every time, it says:

E: Unable to locate package pistore 

or

E: Package 'chromium' has no installation candidate

How do I install these packages?

You don't have a download problem - except that what you are trying to download doesn't exist.

Pistore is defunct https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=130379

What exactly are you trying to install? There is (or was) a chromium-browser and Chromium OS for which you need to download an image (I have never used either).

sudo apt search chromium will show any candidates.

  • +1, but apt search doesn't require sudo permissions. Best practice would be to avoid it when it's not necessary.

You can install Chromium 49 with Chromium Store if you follow this guide: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=121195 .

Use sudo apt-get install update first. Then, retry the commands you listed.
