Installing Chrome RDP Host on Ubuntu

Every time I attempt to install Chrome Remote desktop on my machine so it can be shared as an end point, I am directed to a listing in the Ubuntu App Store. When I press "Install" the install button seems to change to "Installing" then to "Remove" (to indicate full install) almost instantaneously.

When I attempt to go back into Chrome RDP, I am still told I need to install Chrome RDP host (chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb).I then run sudo apt-get dpkg -i * (* is the chrome rdp file), then sudo apt-get install -f, which proceeds to tell me 0 have installed.

Has anyone else had this experience as well? Having trouble figuring out why this keeps happening. Does it have anything to do with that it was meant for debian, and I'm using Ubuntu?

Any recommendations to help resolve would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

UPDATE: Here is the output of sudo dpkg -i chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb.

  installed.)

The correct syntax is sudo dpkg -i chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb. Try this way and relate results

So, since you will edit it, post output of this command I told you, regarding you have to be where chrome*.deb was downloaded.

The "simplest" way to install a deb package is to download it and run dpkg.

Ubuntu App Store can do it, but not always it show you why it couldn't install a package. There several issues, as broken dependences, for example.

After download a package, you must be within the path where this deb was downloaded:

cd /path/where/was/downloaded

sudo dpkg -i chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i /path/where/was/downloaded/chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb

Hint: You can use wildcards to do it, as:

sudo dpkg -i c*deb if it's the only c-beginning .deb filename in this path

sudo dpkg -i c* if it's the only c-beginning filename in this path

sudo dpkg -i * if it's the only .deb file in this path

dpkg will verbose output so we could run after faulting or broken packages. We can successfully install several packages following dpkg clues.
