1. Download Google Earth from Google's website normally

4. Once it is downloaded, you should see a file on your Desktop that says GoogleEarthLinux.bin
5. Right-click on that icon and choose: Open With Other Application...
6. A window should pop up. On the bottom of that window click: Use a Custom Command. Type "sh" in that box and hit enter.
7. A window will appear with white text on a black background... just wait. Then the Google Earth Installer window will apear.
8. All the default settings should be fine, and just click Install.
9. It will now install. It wont take long. And then you will have Google Earth installed!
10. A new icon will apear on the desktop. It will be Google Earth. It will ask if you want to approve it or something like that. And then you can use Google Earth.
You can also start Google Earth by clicking: Applications > Internet > Google Earth (which may take a restart to show up...)
Thanks, and hope everything worked for you! If you have any troubles, just leave a comment on this post.
