How to install Ren'Py on a Chromebook

on

Today we are looking at how to install Ren'Py 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.

This tutorial will only work on Chromebooks with an Intel or AMD CPU (with Linux Apps Support) and not those with an ARM64 architecture CPU.

If you have any questions, please contact us via a YouTube comment and we would be happy to assist you!

Ps. Since making this video Ren'Py got updated, but we updated the commands to the latest version and made sure that everything works.

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.

Commands Used:
1) wget https://www.renpy.org/dl/8.1.0/renpy-8.1.0-sdk.tar.bz2
2) tar -xf renpy-8.1.0-sdk.tar.bz2
3) sudo apt install menulibre
