In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing Coop Deluxe on your Chromebook. Coop Deluxe is an exciting multiplayer mod for the classic Super Mario 64 game, allowing you to play with friends online. This tutorial is designed to complement our video guide, providing detailed written instructions for each step.

Compatibility Check

Before we begin, it's important to note that this tutorial is specifically for Chromebooks with Intel or AMD processors that support Linux Apps. If you have a Chromebook with an ARM64 architecture CPU, unfortunately, this method won't work for you. You can check your Chromebook's compatibility in our lists of Intel Chromebooks and AMD Chromebooks.

Enabling Linux Apps

The first step in our process is to enable Linux Apps on your Chromebook. Here's how:

1. Open your Chromebook's Settings
2. Navigate to the "About Chrome OS" section
3. Look for the "Developer" section
4. Click on "Turn on" next to "Linux development environment"
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup

This process might take a few minutes, but it's a crucial step that allows us to run Linux applications on your Chromebook.

Installing Coop Deluxe

Now that we have Linux apps enabled, we can proceed with installing Coop Deluxe. We'll use the terminal to run a series of commands. Don't worry if you're not familiar with the terminal - we'll guide you through each step.

Step 1: Install Required Packages

First, we need to install some packages that Coop Deluxe requires. Open the terminal from your app menu and run this command:

sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0-0 libatomic1

You'll be prompted to confirm the installation. Press Enter to proceed.

Step 2: Download Coop Deluxe

Next, we'll download the Coop Deluxe application. Run this command in your terminal:

wget https://github.com/coop-deluxe/sm64coopdx/releases/download/v1.0.1/sm64coopdx_v1.0.1_Linux.zip

Step 3: Extract the Application

Now that we've downloaded the zip file, we need to extract its contents. Use this command:

unzip sm64coopdx_v1.0.1_Linux.zip

Step 4: Launch the Game

Finally, we can launch the game. You'll need to run this command each time you want to play:

cd Linux && ./sm64coopdx
