Installation Steps
1. Enable Linux Apps
First, we need to enable Linux apps on your Chromebook:
- Go to your Chromebook's Settings
- Click on the "About Chrome OS" section in the left panel
- Under the "Developer" section, choose "Set up Linux"
- Follow the prompts to turn on Linux
2. Download the Game
Next, download the Linux installation package for Duel it Out from the official website: https://spoods1.itch.io/duel-it-out
3. Move the Installer
Once downloaded, open your file manager and move the installer to the Linux folder.
4. Run Installation Commands
Now, we'll use the terminal to run some commands that will install the game. Open a terminal session from your app menu and run the following commands:
1) sudo apt update 2) sudo apt install fuse libnss3 3) chmod 755 Duel\ It\ Out-1_0_0-linux.AppImage 4) ./Duel\ It\ Out-1_0_0-linux.AppImage
Let's break down what these commands do:
- The first command updates your Linux container's package repositories.
- The second command installs necessary dependencies for the game.
- The third command makes the AppImage file executable.
- The fourth command launches the game.
Note: You'll need to use the last command every time you want to launch the game.

If you encounter any issues during the installation process, here are a few things to try:
- Make sure your Chromebook's software is up to date
