Installing Google Earth 5 on Ubuntu

1:28 AM | , with 1 comments »

Google Earth lets you fly anywhere on Earth to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings, from galaxies in outer space to the canyons of the ocean. You can explore rich geographical content, save your toured places, and share with others.

Installation of Google Earth is very easy on Ubuntu.

Download the GoogleEarthLinux.bin file from this link http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html

Then right-click on that file and select "Open with other Application" option.
Then use the option "Use a custom command" and type "sh" in it. {See the Screenshot below}


A GUI window will open which will guide you through the installation process.

A Shortcut is placed on your Desktop to start Google Earth and you can also start Google Earth from Applications->Internet->Google Earth {If the link to Google Earth is not available in the Internet menu then just reload the gnome-panel with "killall gnome-panel" command in the Terminal.}

Enjoy!
