Install linux software on a Chromebook Acer R 13

Always start with an update of the APT database so you're working with the latest stuff.

sudo apt-get update

To install a single package, type sudo apt-get install package-name

To uninstall it, type sudo apt-get remove package-name.

To update your entire system, type sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

You may run into software incompatibilities if you have a Chromebook with an ARM processor instead of an Intel processor.

To see what your native arch is, type:

dpkg --print-architecture 

You'll see the following output if you are native 64:
amd64




If you see a message that says, "N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'https://apt.llvm.org/stretch llvm-toolchain-stretch-7 InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64'" that's because you have an ARM processor instead of Intel.
