1) 00:05 (time stamp in the video)
We start the process by enabling the Linux Container on our Chromebook.  You can al
ways remove it again in the future as well if needed.

To enable it, we go to the settings of our Chromebook, inside of it, we click on the "Advance" option in the left panel, and then the "Developers" section. Then enable Linux from there as seen in the video.

2) 00:48
Now we will download the game and move it to our Linux files in our file manager.

2.1)  Open the game's website and download the windows installer.

2.2) 01:21 Open the file in your file manager and move the game to your Linux files in your file manager.

3) 01:55
Now we continue to the next phase in the tutorial and that is to run several commands in our Linux terminal, which will install our system to install the game.

Some general facts about the terminal.  To paste a command into the Linux terminal, press "Ctrl Shift v" together.  After you paste a command into the Linux terminal, please press "enter" to run it.  At some commands you will see a question to press Y or n to continue.  If you see it press "enter" to continue.

3.1)  This command will add 32 bit architecture to our Linux Apps.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

3.2) 02:20 This command will update the repositories of our Linux container.

sudo apt update

3.3) 02:39 This command will install Wine and an application which improves the performance of Wine in Linux.  The Y and n question will appear in this command, please press "enter" then. 

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable winbind

3.4) 03:14 This command will create some files and folders which wine requires.

winecfg

3.5) 03:33 Now we will continue to the next part of the tutorial and that is to install a package to extract the rar package.  We will start the process by downloading the unrar application.

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/r/rar/rar_5.5.0-1_amd64.deb

3.6) 03:48 Now we will install the installer which we just downloaded.

sudo dpkg -i rar_5.5.0-1_amd64.deb

3.7) 03:59 Now we will run a command which will install any dependencies for the file extracted, if any.

sudo apt -f install 

3.8) 04:11 Now we will continue to the next part which is to extract the game.  Firstly, we will create a folder into which we will extract the game into.

mkdir marvelvsdcmugenv1

3.9) 04:21 Now we will extract the game.

rar x MARVEL\ VS\ DC\ Mugen.rar marvelvsdcmugenv1

3.10) 04:11 Now we will remove the decrypted game folder which we downloaded, to free up space.

rm MARVEL\ VS\ DC\ Mugen.rar

3.11) 04:49 To run the game, please run this command in your Linux Terminal every time.

cd marvelvsdcmugenv1/MARVEL\ VS\ DC\ Mugen && wine MarvelvsDc.exe

Enjoy!
