- To install, copy/paste the contents of your out/thorium dir to a good location I.E. $HOME/bin/thorium. **RECOMMENDED - Copy and run clean.sh within this dir to clean up build artifacts**. *Then you can just run the browser with `~/bin/thorium/chrome` or the content_shell with `~/bin/thorium/content_shell`.*
- **Proper Install:** To install with a deb, dont copy out/thorium, instead run `autoninja -C out/thorium/ "chrome/installer/linux:unstable_deb"` A nice .deb file will now be in out/thorium and you can install it with `sudo dpkg --install *.deb` It will be called chromium-browser-unstable, but the .debs in the releases section are just renamed to thorium-browser.
