Installing Google Earth Ubuntu 14.04 - 16.04

So you want to install Google Earth, it's not hard.

Open a Terminal Windows and type;

wget -O google-earth.sh http://drive.noobslab.com/data/apps/google-earth/google-earth.sh

(HIT ENTER)

chmod +x google-earth.sh;sudo ./google-earth.sh

(HIT ENTER)

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

(HIT ENTER)

That's it nice and easy.

These instructions came from noobslab.com, a nice Linux Blog. Know that you are running a BASH Script that makes changes to your system.  Please read his COMPLETE article before you execute these commands. http://www.noobslab.com/2016/05/google-earth-for-ubuntulinux-mint-easy.html  

The first command just downloads the script. You can run the first command (download the script) then open it and check it for yourself before you execute the second command which makes it executable and executes it.  The third command installs some Microsoft Fonts that will make Google Earth and other programs (Wine) look better.
