How to install Flowgorithm on a Chromebook

on

In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing Flowgorithm on your Chromebook. Flowgorithm is a powerful flowchart programming environment that allows users to create and run programs using flowcharts. It's an excellent tool for learning programming concepts and algorithms in a visual manner.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that your Chromebook supports Linux apps (Crostini). If you're unsure, you can check our list of Chromebooks with Linux Apps support.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Enable Linux Apps on Your Chromebook

If you haven't already enabled Linux apps on your Chromebook, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your Chromebook's Settings
  2. Click on the "Advanced" section
  3. Select "Developers"
  4. Click on "Turn On" next to "Linux development environment"
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup

2. Download the Installer

Download the Flowgorithm installer from this link:

After downloading, move the installer file to the Linux Files folder on your Chromebook.

3. Install Required Software

Open a terminal window and run the following commands:

1) sudo apt update
2) sudo apt install flatpak
3) sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
4) sudo flatpak install flathub com.usebottles.bottles
5) sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/bwrap && sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/bwrap

These commands will update your system, install Flatpak (a software deployment and package management utility), add the Flathub repository, install Bottles (a compatibility layer to run Windows software on Linux), and set the necessary permissions.

4. Install Flowgorithm using Bottles

Now that we have Bottles installed, we can use it to install Flowgorithm:

  1. Launch Bottles from your app menu
  2. Click on the three vertical lines in the top right corner
  3. Select "Import"
  4. Click on "Full archive"
  5. Navigate to the Linux Files folder and select the Flowgorithm installer file
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation

Running Flowgorithm

To run Flowgorithm, you'll need to launch it through Bottles each time:

  1. Open Bottles
  2. Select the Flowgorithm bottle
  3. Click on the Flowgorithm application to launch it

Additional Information

Flowgorithm is an excellent tool for beginners learning programming concepts. It allows you to create flowcharts that represent algorithms, which can then be converted into various programming languages. This visual approach can help in understanding program flow and logic before diving into text-based coding.
