How to install Rigs of Rods on a Chromebook

on

Today we are looking at how to install Rigs of Rods 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!

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 120, the Linux container on a Chromebook has been upgraded to a newer version.  This tutorial still works exactly as in the video, however, the first 5 commands are no longer required.  Hope it helps

Commands Used:
1) sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/oldsources.list
2) sudo touch /etc/apt/sources.list
3) sudo echo deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main  | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
4) sudo apt update
5) sudo apt dist-upgrade
6) unzip rigs-of-rods-linux.zip
7) ./RunRoR --disable-framerate-limit
