First you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list file
#vi /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following line
# Google software repository
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free
Save and exit the file
you must download the key and then use apt to install it and refresh your package indexes.
Run these commands as root:
#wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
Now you need to update the source list using the following command
#apt-get update

you have to add the sudo prefix to the post-pipe command.
That is, do:
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
please let me know if it works…
