Unable to install Chrome

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/04/ubuntu-16-04-deb-software-install-error

Where did you download the deb to ?

Hi, AP, The Chrome file "apparently" downloaded as usual to my download
site, but when I click on the download nothing happens. And when it
attempts to install from the Software site it doesn't go there. It just
stops. And when I check the Launcher, there is an icon there with the
words "waiting to install". So I wait .... and wait ... even overnight.
It's still "waiting" next morning. I'm having more problems with 16.04
than any previous release - another example: the spellcheck doesn't work
on LibreOffice, so I may leave this release for now and wait until it's
had more updates. No fun so far. Thanks for the ack.

You didn't answer my question.... What folder are the deb(s) in?

    My apologies, A.P.: I should have been clearer: when I click on the
    "downloaded" icon - nothing happens. So I can't access the folder,
    if it is indeed there. I suspect Chrome simply hasn't downloaded
    properly, otherwise the files would be accessible? This may explain
    why the Launcher icon is "waiting to install" - nothing to install?
    But I'm back to using 14.04 - and WHAT a relief! I'll keep 16.04
    on dual boot in case a future fix resolves this problem AND my
    streaming sites not playing (this being a separate post). Once
    again, many thanks for your help. Can't believe I had seven blissful
    years with Ubuntu without any problems and trust Ubuntu will not
    follow in Microsoft's footsteps i.e. the more functions added, the
    more bugs and glitches ...:-(

What is the full Terminal output of these commands in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?
Please use copy-paste to avoid typing mistakes....

cd $HOME

wget --no-check-certificate https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb

# fix the Google Chrome dependencies issue

sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get --yes --force-yes -f install

        Hi Mark, thanks for your response.

        I haven't previously encountered a command that included an
        Internet site address. Is this intended? If so, I got a 404.

That's what happens when your Email client chops up the command into invalid pieces.

Visit this thread using a web browser to see the difference.

So go here to see the correct commmand, which is CLEARLY longer:
