→How do I install OSCAR on my ChromeBook?: Added notes & comments
Download the appropriate one.
Your Chrome browser will probably ask you to save it, probably in your Downloads folder, so go ahead and do that.
If it didn't ask you, it put it in Downloads. Make a note of this location, you'll need it for the next step.
I'll include one more link that tells you how to take a screenshot on a Chromebook, so you can post a screenshot of any difficulty you have. It is
omg chrome.com/ take-screenshot-chromebook-chromeos I'll need permission for this link; it's only required if we wish to support users in this way.
That isn't my call:mjphyi DeepBreathing says: Links are OK so long as they comply with our commercial rules - No sites owned by a DME and no sites with a {Buy} button. Otherwise OK.
=== What you need to do now is to install the .deb file that you downloaded. ===<!-- I didn't know that I downloaded a .deb file! I thought I downloaded Oscar! What's the story? --><!-- We don't need to do this in Linux, it's simpler to do it from Chrome.--> If you're still in Linux, return to the Chrome desktop . <!-- Do you know where the file was saved? You may have had your browser set to save it in your Downloads folder, or you may have had it set to ask you where to save anything (in which case, you probably know). Either way, now n--> Now open the Chrome Files App, and go to the folder with the Oscar package that you downloaded. It will show as a .deb file that you downloaded(eg Oscar_blah_blah.deb)
When you find it, we can open it and install it from the files App.
If you are on a ChromeBox, then you are probably using a mouse, while if you are using a ChromeBook, you might be using a mouse, or you may be using the trackpad that is below the keyboard. Your trackpad supports a click anywhere in the trackpad the same way as it supports a left click with a 2 or 3 button mouse.
A mouse right click is sometimes useful, and you can get the same effect by holding down the Alt key and clicking in the touchpad. If a mouse right click is required in these instructions, it will be shown as Alt-touchpad-click and as Mouse-right-click. Pick one, don't do both. mjphyi has noticed that although the above paragraph is correct, right clicking isn't going to be required when installing Beta-2 or later up to this point. It WILL be requiredas required as part of importing for the first time, and it will be repeated there, but maybe it'll disappear from here. Note that each line is indented, causing that text to appear in a box - useful for asides like this which interrupt the flow of the narrative.
In the Chrome Files App, double click on the name of the install package that you downloaded.
