How to install Eclipse Theia Blueprint on a Chromebook


Today we are looking at how to install Eclipse Theia Blueprint on a Chromebook.  Please follow the video/audio guide as a tutorial where we explain the process step by step and use the commands below.

If you have any questions, please contact us via a YouTube comment and we would be happy to assist you!

This tutorial will only work on Chromebooks with an Intel or AMD CPU (with Linux Apps Support) and not those with an ARM64 architecture CPU.

You need to start this tutorial on a new Linux Apps session.

Update: with the release of Chrome OS 120, the Linux container on a Chromebook has been upgraded to a newer version.  This tutorial still works exactly as in the video, however, the first 5 commands are no longer required.  Hope it helps
