First download the package from google itself, change directory location to where the chrome package is stored, in my case is Downloads.
then
$ su
password: (root password)
# dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
# exit
$ google-chrome-stable.

for anyone having the libappindicator1 dependency problem just update your sources list and perform an apt-get update then dpkg -i to install chrome and apt-get -f to install dependency
