Preparing Your Chromebook

Before we begin, ensure that your Chromebook has Linux apps support enabled. If you haven't done this yet, go to your Chromebook's settings, navigate to the 'Advanced' section, then 'Developers', and enable Linux apps.

Installation Process

Once your Chromebook is ready, we'll use the terminal to install SkyTemple. Here are the commands you'll need to run, along with explanations for each step:

1. sudo apt update

   This command updates your package lists, ensuring you have the latest information about available software.

2. sudo apt install flatpak

   This installs Flatpak, a system for installing and managing software packages that we'll use to install SkyTemple.

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

   This adds the Flathub repository to your system, which hosts a wide variety of Flatpak applications, including SkyTemple.

4. sudo flatpak install flathub org.skytemple.SkyTemple

   This command installs SkyTemple from the Flathub repository.

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