Why can't I install google-chrome?

+0
−3
apt install google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process

As you can see when I am trying to install google-chrome I am getting some error. Why I am facing those errors?
