Install LMMS
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) 00:37
Now we continue to the next phase in the tutorial and that is to run several commands in our Linux terminal, which will install LMMS.

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.

2.1) This command will update the repositories of our Linux container.

sudo apt update

2.2) 01:14 This command will install an application called flatpak, which we will use to install LMMS with.  The Y and n question will appear in this command, please press "enter" then.

sudo apt install flatpak

2.3) 01:30 This command will add the flathub repository to our Linux container, which we require to install LMMS.

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

2.4) 01:42 This command will install LMMS.

a Person needs to press "enter" twice to start the installation process.

sudo flatpak install flathub io.lmms.LMMS

2.5) 02:14 This command will set the permissions for one package so that LMMS will work as expected.

sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/bwrap && sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/bwrap

3) 02:22
Now we will launch LMMS.

Update LMMS
4)  03:15
After you installed LMMS, and you notice that LMMS received an update, you can run this commmand to upgrade your version of LMMS to the latest version.

sudo flatpak update

Remove 
LMMS
5) 03:51
To remove LMMS in the future, if you want to, you can run these two commands.  It will just remove LMMS, not the rest of oyur Linux Applications.

5.1) This command will remove LMMS.

sudo flatpak uninstall io.lmms.LMMS

5.2) 04:08 This command will remove all other applications which just LMMS requires.

sudo flatpak uninstall --unused
