Introduction

Google Earth puts a planet's worth of imagery and other geographic information right on your desktop. View exotic locales like Maui and Paris as well as points of interest such as local restaurants, hospitals, schools, and more.

NOTE: This tutorial utilizes the command line, so some basic experience is required; although little more than just copying and pasting.

Screenshots

Installation

Note: Google Earth is available from the UbuntuHelp:Medibuntu repository.

0. Download

 Download the linux version of Google Earth.

0. Make Executable

 At the command line, cd into the directory that you saved Google Earth. Then issue the following command:

  chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin 

0. Run the installer

 Issue the following command at the command prompt:

  sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin 

Continue through the rest of the installation using the default options, unless you are more experienced and need to change the options.

WARNING: DO NOT choose to run Google Earth, as doing so will disallow you to run it as a normal user in the future.

Execution

You can run the program via the command line or by pressing Alt+F2. Either way, type in googleearth, and then press Enter.

Desktop Entry

To add Google Earth to the Desktop menu run this command in a terminal:

 sudo cp /opt/google-earth/googleearth.desktop /usr/share/applications/ 

Troubleshooting

Google Earth for Linux is still in beta. As such, many problems that you may encounter can be attributed to this.

Errors

Permission Denied

Receiving this error means that you ignored the warning in step 3 of the install instructions. To fix it, do the following:

 sudo chown -R username ~/.googleearth
 sudo chown username  ~/.local/share/applications/googleearth.desktop 

Be sure to replace username with your user name.

Google Earth & Compiz

As with all OpenGL apps, Google Earth has issues running with Compiz. To resolve this issue, either run Google Earth in a normal GNOME session, or see this thread: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=176636
