Installing Dev/Beta instructions incomplete for Mac #111

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
From:
http://code.google.com/chrome/nativeclient/docs/running.html#browser

There is a set of instructions recommending to install Chrome Beta:
 We recommend subscribing to the Chrome Beta channel and using the latest release of the SDK to build and develop Native Client applications.

The link lead you to:
http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel

However following this link and instructions will not successfully install 
Chrome on Mac.  I don't know if the same issue exists on other platforms.   The 
issue is that there are no instructions, and it is not obvious that the install 
actually failed.  To determine the install failed, I basically checked the 
'About Chrome' to determine what version I was running.

It was suggested that I may need to uninstall chrome first, before installing 
the Beta or Dev channels.  However the path of instructions to get to this 
point don't mention it.

NOTE:  While arguably this is an issue with Chrome docs, not SDK, one assumes 
SDK users need to have multiple versions of Chrome installed.   It appears that 
I can install Chrome Canary, however, that means that at the moment, I can have 
an M13 and M15 build on my Mac, but not M14 which is the current "live" SDK 
version.

Turns out that the main issue here was double-clicking the Chrome icon, instead 
of drag-drop into the application install folder.
