use app grid or synaptic or apt-get.software center that.

type 

sudo apt install chromium-browser

type password. won't see while type. type , press enter. ask confirmation again. type 'y' without quotes , press enter. download , install chromium.

but if want graphical package manager. open terminal above , type

sudo apt install synaptic
