Install Linux App Store on Chromebook
0Want to run Linux apps on your Chromebook? This video walks you through the simple process of enabling and installing the Linux App Store on a Chromebook using the built-in Linux (Beta) environment. Whether you’re a developer, student, or just looking to experiment with Linux tools, this setup lets you access a whole new range of software right on your Chrome OS device.
Linux support isn’t turned on by default, so the video begins by showing how to access your Chromebook's system settings. You’ll learn how to open the Chrome OS Settings app by clicking the gear icon in the quick settings panel. Once inside, scroll down to the 'Developers' section and locate the 'Linux development environment (Beta)' option. If your Chromebook is compatible, you’ll see a 'Turn on' button—click it to begin the setup.
If you don’t see the Linux option, it means your device doesn’t support Linux apps yet. For supported models, once the install button is clicked, Chrome OS will begin setting up a Linux container. The duration of this step depends on your internet speed and system performance. After the setup is complete, a Terminal window will automatically open. This is your command-line access point to install, run, and manage Linux applications.
You can always reopen the Terminal later by searching for it in your app drawer. With the environment ready, you’re now free to use package managers like `apt` to install apps such as GIMP, LibreOffice, or development tools like VS Code and Python.
