The only missing pieces to use them as full-featured Linux distro were gcc and make with their dependencies. Well, these pieces aren't missing anymore. Say hello to Chromebrew!\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nYou will need a Chromebook with developer mode enabled. To do so, select your device on [the ChromiumOS Wiki](https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices) and follow the instructions listed there.\n\n\u003e [!WARNING]\n\u003e Please be aware of the fact that developer mode is insecure if not properly configured.\n\n\u003ca id=\"set_passwd\" /\u003e \u003c!-- for reference in installation section --\u003e\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e Setting a password as instructed in the VT-2 login screen is recommended. It is also recommended to enable signed boot:\n\u003e\n\u003e ```bash\n\u003e sudo chromeos-setdevpasswd\n\u003e sudo crossystem dev_boot_signed_only=1\n\u003e ```\n\n## Supported Systems\n\n| Architecture | Supported? |\n|:------------:|:----------:|\n| x86_64       | Yes        |\n| i686         | Yes\\*      |\n| armv7l       | Yes        |\n| aarch64      | Yes        |\n\n\\* _We can only provide limited support for i686 since Google has discontinued support. Although we can no longer support GUI apps, we will try to continue to support CLI programs._\n\n## Installation\n\n\u003e [!IMPORTANT]\n\u003e The beta, dev, and Canary channels are ***not*** supported and should ***not*** be used with Chromebrew. Failure to take notice of this warning will cause major issues with your Chromebrew installation.\n\u003e\n\u003e See issue [#2890](https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew/issues/2890) and the [FAQ](https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew/wiki/FAQ) for more details.\n\n\u003e [!WARNING]\n\u003e On ChromeOS M117+, the Chromebrew installer will not work in `crosh` anymore due to the security changes introduced in ChromeOS M117.\n\nOpen a VT-2 terminal session with \u003ckbd\u003eCtrl\u003c/kbd\u003e+\u003ckbd\u003eAlt\u003c/kbd\u003e+\u003ckbd\u003e-\u003e\u003c/kbd\u003e and login with the `chronos` user and password if set [above](#set_passwd). *(if you are unable to do this, please have a second look at the prerequisites and make sure your Chromebook is in developer mode)*\n\nThen run the installation script below:\n\n```bash\nbash \u003c(curl -L git.io/vddgY) \u0026\u0026 . ~/.bashrc\n```\n\n## Help\n\nPlease check out the [wiki](https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew/wiki) to find out more information about Chromebrew including helpful tips, resource links and frequently asked questions.\n\nAlso please check existing [issues](https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew/issues) before submitting a new one.\n\n## Usage\n\n```text\ncrew \u003ccommand\u003e \u003cpackage1\u003e [\u003cpackage2\u003e ...]\n```\n\nWhere available commands are:\n\n| Command             | Description |\n|:-------------------:|:------------|\n| build               | build package(s) from source and store the archive and checksum in the current working directory |\n| check               | check packages(s) |\n| const               | display constant(s) |\n| deps                | display dependencies of package(s) |\n| diskstat            | show statistics about disk space occupied by installed packages |\n| download            | download package(s) to CREW_BREW_DIR (/usr/local/tmp/crew by default), but don't install |\n| files               | display installed files of package(s) |\n| help                | get information about command usage |\n| install             | install package(s) along with dependencies after prompting for confirmation |\n| list                | available, compatible, incompatible, essential, installed packages |\n| postinstall         | display postinstall messages of package(s) |\n| prop                | display all package boolean properties |\n| reinstall           | remove and install package(s) |\n| remove              | remove package(s) |\n| search              | look for package(s) |\n| sysinfo             | show system information in markdown style |\n| update_package_file | update package file binary hashes |\n| update              | update crew itself |\n| upgrade             | update all or specific package(s) |\n| upload              | upload binaries for all or specific package(s) |\n| upstream            | check if an upstream version is available for package(s) |\n| version             | check for the Chromebrew version, or if a package is specified, the package version |\n| whatprovides        | regex search for package(s) that contains file(s) |\n\nAvailable packages are listed in the [packages directory](https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew/tree/master/packages).\n\nChromebrew will wipe its `BREW_DIR` (`/usr/local/tmp/crew` by default) after installation unless you pass `-k` or `--keep` when running `crew install`.\n\n```text\ncrew install --keep [...]\n```\n\n## License\n\nCopyright 2013-2025 Michal Siwek and [all the awesome contributors](https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew/graphs/contributors).\n\nThis project including all of its source files is released under the terms of [GNU General Public License (version 3 or later)](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt).
