I'll assume this is an intel chromebook, not an arm processor.
Yes, Intel i3.
LC doesn't have a "normal" linux installer, i.e., .rpm or .deb file.
You have to download the installer then change the permission bits to allow it
to be executable.
If you can change the permissions via the chromebook ui then do it that way. Otherwise from the
commandline you could just say
chmod +x LiveCodeInstaller-9_6_6-Linux.x64
After that you can launch the installer. I assume (silly me) that you can double-click an
application on a chromebook to launch it, but if not you can launch it via the commandline:
./LiveCodeInstaller-9_6_6-Linux.x64
Now you have the choice of installing for just you or for everyone. You'll make life a lot
easier on yourself if you select "just you".
...don't get me started on the (lack of an) uninstaller.
This worked! :) I had to set the executable bit from the commandline, everything else worked
fine. I found my license and got the Intro startup window. When I closed it I got a blank white
screen with no native way to get rid of it. No palettes, interface, nothing. Just white.
I was pretty excited there for a minute.
