Overview

--------



Chromebooks with Chrome OS run a Linux kernel. 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!



Prerequisites

-------------



You 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.



Please be aware of the fact that developer mode is insecure if not properly configured. Setting a password as instructed in the VT-2 login screen is essential. It is also recommended to enable signed boot:



```bash

sudo chromeos-setdevpasswd

sudo crossystem dev_boot_signed_only=1

```



Installation

------------



The beta, dev, and Canary channels are ***not*** supported and should ***not*** be used with Chromebrew.

Failure to take notice of this will cause major issues with your Chromebrew installation.

See issue [#2890](https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew/issues/2890) and the [FAQ](https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew/wiki/FAQ) for more details.



Open the terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T and type `shell`.



If this command returns `ERROR: unknown command: shell`, please have a second look at the prerequisites and make sure your Chromebook is in developer mode.



Then download and run the installation script below:



    wget -q -O - https://raw.github.com/skycocker/chromebrew/master/install.sh | bash



    -- or --



    curl -Ls git.io/vddgY | bash



On a rooted Google OnHub, the command needs to be run with the "chronos" user. In order to make su work, a password is needed for the chronos user.



    # passwd chronos

    Changing password for chronos.

    Enter new UNIX password:

    Retype new UNIX password:

    # su - chronos

    Password:

    $ curl -Ls git.io/vddgY | bash
