Preparing Your Chromebook

Before we begin, ensure that your Chromebook supports Linux apps. If you're unsure, you can check our list of Chromebooks with Linux Apps (Crostini) support.

To enable Linux apps on your Chromebook:

  1. Go to your system settings
  2. Click on the "About Chrome OS" section on the left panel
  3. Under the developer section, choose to set up Linux

Installation Process

Now that Linux apps are enabled, we'll use the terminal to install Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers. Follow these steps carefully:

3) sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
4) sudo flatpak install flathub org.kartkrew.RingRacers
5) sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/bwrap && sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/bwrap

Let's break down what these commands do:
