1. Download Google Earth from http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
2. Right click downloaded file and select Properties
3. Select Executable check box in Permissions tab
4. Click OK button then double click (or right-click > Open) the file to run Google Earth installer
5. This will install Google Earth in your home folder and put an icon in KDE menu
6. This will als create a directory /home/your_username/google-earth
7. To repair a bug in Google Earth go to the directory /home/your_username/google-earth and remove the file libcrypto.so.0.9.8
