Today we are looking at how to install Pixelorama on a Chromebook. Please follow the video/audio guide as a tutorial where we explain the process step by step and use the commands below.
In this tutorial, we firstly enable Linux Apps on our Chromebook, then we update the Linux Apps repositories, then we install Flatpak and add the official flathub repository to our system. Then with the last command, we install Pixelorama. Then we go to a URL and change one setting, to fix any display issues. Enjoy!

Please take note that with the release of Chrome OS 90, the location of Linux Apps has been changed in the Chromebook’s settings. Have a look at this tutorial, to see how to turn on Linux apps and then continue with the installation tutorial.
Update: with the release of Chrome OS 96, the Linux container on a Chromebook has been upgraded to a newer version. Because of this, we need to run one additional command for the application to work, we added it to the list of commands.
Commands Used:
1) sudo apt update
2) sudo apt install flatpak
3) sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
4) sudo flatpak install flathub com.orama_interactive.Pixelorama
5) sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/bwrap && sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/bwrap
