How to install Google Chrome on Fedora 16

Fedora 16 just came out and here’s how to get Google Chrome on it.
Start by creating a repository file for Google called google.repo and place it in /etc/yum.repos.d/ .
sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo

Add the lines below into the repository file. google.repo
[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome - 64-bit
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Update yum,
sudo yum update
Search for Google Chrome,
sudo yum search google-chrome
Install Google Chrome Stable
sudo yum install google-chrome-stable
If you prefer the beta like me then run,
sudo yum install google-chrome-beta
