How to install Netbeans 8.1 on a Chromebook


Today we are looking at how to install Netbeans 8.1 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.

Please take note, that you need to use an older version of Linux, as seen in the tutorial for this application to work, and other Linux Applications might not work well with it, but Netbeans 8.1 should work as expected.

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

Update: with the release of Chrome OS 96, the Linux container on a Chromebook has been upgraded to a newer version. Because of this, this tutorial sadly no longer works. we apologise for the inconveniences.

Commands Used:
1) sudo apt update
2) sudo apt install netbeans
