Answer 1

execute following commands (with root or sudoers privilege)

cd /etc/yum.repos.d                                                   ##Moving to a certain directory
wget http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chromium/6/chromium-el6.repo   ##Download the chromium package
yum install chromium                                                  ##Install the chromium packages in the mentioned directory

Answer 2

Late answer and not the desired solution, but I've installed Chrome on CentOS 7 using:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

Latest Google Chrome no longer supports 6.x. You need CentOS 7.x.

Answer 3

https://discuss.tutorialdba.com/852/install-epel-repository-centos explains how to install Chromium on CentOS 8, should you need to.

If

sudo dnf --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="epel" list available | grep chromium

confirms you've got epel installed and chromium is available, then run

sudo dnf --enablerepo="epel" install chromium

to perform the install successfully.
