We start the process by enabling the Linux Container on our Chromebook.  You can always 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.

Now we continue to the next phase in the tutorial and that is to run several commands in our Linux terminal, which will install Solitaire.

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.

2.1)  This command will download OpenOfffice.

wget -c https://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.1.13/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.13_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz

tar -zxvf Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.13_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz

Now we will install OpenOffice.

sudo dpkg -i en-US/DEBS/*.deb en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/*.deb
