How to install LÖVE Game Engine on a Chromebook


Today we are looking at how to install LÖVE Game Engine  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 the game engine will be in your Linux files in your file manager and that you need to use the last command to launch the application, menu editors like menulibre, sadly doesn't work with the new version of Linux yet, and commands for other tutorials might be different,  at the time of making this video.
