Google’s Linux software repositories make it easier to download and stay up-to-date with current releases of Google Linux applications. Please choose one of the guides below to help configure your system to use these repositories.
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
Install google applications now you can see the following command to install google picasa
#apt-get install picasa
Seems not to work or not more to work!
sudo wget -q -O – https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add –
Password:
gpg: no writable keyring found: eof
gpg: error reading `-‘: general error
gpg: import from `-‘ failed: general error
:~$ wget -q -O – https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add
gpg: can’t open `’: No such file or directory
Yep, same issue here.
Go to https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub and download or copy to your computer and after import.
If the English is not good don’t worry i am Portuguese, but i hope you understand. 😉
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… 🙂

Run these commands as root:
It works if you use su to become root.
I think the repository service from google is discontinued at this moment.
