Installation Steps

Follow these steps carefully to install MCreator on your Chromebook:

1. First, ensure that Linux apps are enabled on your Chromebook. If you haven't done this yet, go to your system settings, click on the "About Chrome OS" icon on the left panel, and turn on Linux apps.
2. Once Linux apps are enabled, open a terminal from your app menu.
3. Copy and paste the following commands into your terminal, pressing Enter after each one:

wget https://github.com/MCreator/MCreator/releases/download/2025.1.13416/MCreator.2025.1.Linux.64bit.tar.gz
tar -xf MCreator.2025.1.Linux.64bit.tar.gz
chmod 755 MCreator20251/jdk/bin/java && chmod 755 MCreator20251/mcreator.sh 
cd MCreator20251 && ./mcreator.sh
mv MCreator20251/* /home/$USER/
sudo apt update
sudo apt install kmenuedit 
kmenuedit

These commands will download MCreator, extract it, set the necessary permissions, launch it to ensure it works, move the content to the main Linux folder, update the Linux repositories, install a menu editor, and launch the menu editor.

Creating a Desktop Launcher

After running the commands, you'll need to create a desktop launcher for easy access to MCreator:

1. In the menu editor, choose a category for your launcher.
2. Click on "New Item".
3. Choose a name for your desktop entry.
4. For the command, use the path to the package you downloaded.
5. Save the launcher.

Congratulations! MCreator is now installed on your Chromebook and ready to use.
