How to Install Godot on a Chromebook

Hey everybody,

I’m new to godot, so hello. I’ve been doing game development for 2 years now, and I have really liked godot. The only thing is, I’m running on a chromebook. Now it works just fine, but some people may also want to know how to get godot on a chromebook .

Step 1:
Install the linux container from your settings app.

Step 2:
Go to the official godot download page, and download the file type corresponding to your system. File types: x86_64 x86_32 arm64 arm32. You may also download off of Steam if you have the linux or Steam for Chrome (Beta) versions.

Step 3:
To run the file, open the vim app, open a new tab, and type: chmod +x yourgodotfilename.filetype press enter, then type ./yourgodotfilename.filetype.

Step 4:
Godot should open, and when creating a new project, select compatibility, or else everything will be very laggy.

Step 5:
Enjoy godot!
