You will probably find it much simpler to install from the Medibuntu repository than Google itself, especially as updates will be handled automatically (and the current version is 5.1).

To do that, open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type:
sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install app-install-data-medibuntu apport-hooks-medibuntu googleearth

That's five lines—the first is quite long.
