I was trying to install chromium on the RPi but it does not seems to be working. I am using a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B.

This is what i typed:

sudo apt-get install chromium 

...and I got this error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 chromium : Depends: chromium-inspector but it is not going to be installed
 skypeweb : Depends: libjson-glib-1.0-0 (>= 0.12.0) but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: libjson-glib-1.0-0 (>= 0.8.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Please advise on how to correct the problem.

    What OS and version are you running? Have you tried the suggestion from the error message: Try apt-get -f install chromium? Jul 13, 2016 at 8:02

Follow its advice. Run sudo apt-get -f install

After that, re-run sudo apt-get install chromium

For Raspberry Pis running Jessie you can install Chromium using this code.

    wget -qO - http://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=bintray | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://dl.bintray.com/kusti8/chromium-rpi jessie main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser rpi-youtube -y

  • Don't just post a link, summarize the info in your answer. What if the link goes dead?

  • Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.

    Some explanation of why this works and also what might have caused the original error would be nice to see...
