reed@reed-laptop:~$ cd ~/Downloads
reed@reed-laptop:~/Downloads$ chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin
reed@reed-laptop:~/Downloads$ sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

reed@reed-laptop:~/Downloads$
Download Google Earth from the Google Earth website (http://earth.google.com/).
https://help.ubuntu.com/htdocs/ubuntunew/img/icon-info.png The linux version will be automatically chosen when downloading from Ubuntu.
Open a terminal (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal) from Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal.
cd into the directory where you saved Google Earth. For example, if you saved it to the Desktop type:
cd ~/Desktop
Make it executable by typing:
chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin
Run the installer by typing:
sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
Leave the default options and click Begin Install.

When installation is complete, press Quit.
https://help.ubuntu.com/htdocs/ubuntunew/img/alert.png Do not press Start as this will run it as root which is never a good idea.

https://help.ubuntu.com/htdocs/ubuntunew/img/icon-info.png A file named Google-googleearth.desktop will be installed on the Desktop. This file is safe to delete.
thanks, catlover
