Install 0 A.D.
1) 00:05 (time stamp in the video)
We start the process by enabling the Linux Container on our Chromebook.  You can al
ways remove it again in the future as well if needed.

To enable it, we go to the settings of our Chromebook, inside of it, we click on the "Advance" option in the left panel, and then the "Developers" section. Then enable Linux from there as seen in the video.

2) 00:37
Now we continue to the next phase in the tutorial and that is to run several commands in our Linux terminal, which will install 0 A.D..

Some general facts about the terminal.  To paste a command into the Linux terminal, press "Ctrl Shift v" together.  After you paste a command into the Linux terminal, please press "enter" to run it.  At some commands you will see a question to press Y or n to continue.  If you see it press "enter" to continue.

2.1) This command will update the repositories of our Linux container.

sudo apt update

2.2) 01:11 This command will install an application called flatpak, which we will use to install 0 A.D. with.  The Y and n question will appear in this command, please press "enter" then.

sudo apt install flatpak

2.3) 01:29 This command will add the flathub repository to our Linux container, which we require to install 0 A.D..

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

2.4) 01:41 This command will install 0 A.D.

a Person needs to press "enter" twice to start the installation process.

sudo flatpak install flathub com.play0ad.zeroad

2.5) 02:25 This command will set the permissions for one package so that 0 A.D. will work as expected.

sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/bwrap && sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/bwrap

3) 02:35
Now we will launch 0 A.D.

Update 0 A.D.
4)  04:11
After you installed 0 A.D., and you notice that 0 A.D. received an update, you can run this commmand to upgrade your version of 0 A.D. to the latest version.

sudo flatpak update

Remove 
0 A.D.
5) 04:45
To remove 0 A.D. in the future, if you want to, you can run these two commands.  It will just remove 0 A.D., not the rest of oyur Linux Applications.

5.1) This command will remove 0 A.D.

sudo flatpak uninstall com.play0ad.zeroad

5.2) 04:33 This command will remove all other applications which just 0 A.D. requires.

sudo flatpak uninstall --unused
