Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Google Earth allows the users to easily explore the world, see satellite images and local facts, zoom to a specific address, view driving directions, etc.
The latest version available is Google Earth 7, which has been released a while ago.
In this article I will show you how to install Google Earth 7 on Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Pinguy OS 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, Elementary OS 0.2 Luna, Deepin 2014, Peppermint Five, LXLE 14.04, Linux Lite 2.0 and other Ubuntu derivative systems.
Because it is not available via any repository or PPA, we have to download Google Earth 7 from google.com and install it via command-line. Follow the instructions for your system and architecture exactly, in order to get a successful installation.
