yum install chromium ##Install the chromium packages in the mentioned directory
Late answer and not the desired solution, but I've installed Chrome on CentOS 7 using:
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
Latest Google Chrome no longer supports 6.x. You need CentOS 7.x.
https://discuss.tutorialdba.com/852/install-epel-repository-centos explains how to install Chromium on CentOS 8, should you need to.
If
sudo dnf --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="epel" list available | grep chromium
confirms you've got epel installed and chromium is available, then run
sudo dnf --enablerepo="epel" install chromium
to perform the install successfully.
