Install Chrome under WSL

Even though WSL on Windows 10 is great at giving engineers a 'Nix-like environment on a Windows machine to develop, build and test; I ran into an issue where my Karma tests were failing due to the inability to find a suitable browser to execute the test suite one. I found some help online to help with installing a Chrome directly under the WSL. Below are the steps i used:

	# assumes you have ubuntu-desktop installed which includes stock libpulse
	sudo add-apt-repository ppa:therealkenc/wsl-pulseaudio
	sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
	# Download the stable or development Chrome .deb package - dev if you want headless functionality
	wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
	sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
	sudo apt -f install # probably
	wget https://github.com/therealkenc/libudev-stub/releases/download/v0.9.0/libudev-stub-0.9.0-WSL.deb
	sudo dpkg -i libudev-stub-0.9.0-WSL.deb # doing this **last** is important
