google-chrome not found should be self-explanatory.

Run this on terminal:

which google-chrome

Use the output as command.

In my Ubuntu, google-chrome is placed here: 

/usr/bin/google-chrome

So, in my case I would run:

/usr/bin/google-chrome index.html

If the output of 'which google-chrome' command is empty, you should install google-chrome first.

Considering your comment, perhaps the process has another name. With chrome running, execute in terminal:

ps  -ef | grep chrome

In my output it comes like:

username 32276 22430 0 14:03 ? 00:00:12 /opt/google/chrome/chrome

So, if I run:

/opt/google/chrome/chrome index.html

Chrome will start and open the index.html.

Check your output and adapt.
