Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Enable Linux Apps on Your Chromebook

First, you'll need to enable Linux apps on your Chromebook. To do this:

1. Go to your system settings
2. Click on the "About Chrome OS" section on the left panel
3. Under the developer section, choose to set up Linux
4. Turn on Linux

2. Install Wine

Wine is a compatibility layer that allows you to run Windows applications on Linux. We'll use it to install Plotagon Studio. Open a terminal from your app menu and run the following commands:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key && sudo apt-key add winehq.key
echo "deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ bookworm main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine_chrome_os_made_simple.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable winbind
winecfg
ln -s /home/$USER/.wine/drive_c /home/$USER/wine

These commands will enable 32-bit architecture, add the Wine repository, update your system, install Wine, and create a link to the Wine C drive.

wget https://assets-sugarcake.plotagon.se/downloads/studio/Plotagon%20Studio-1-11-0.exe
