Note: Not all Chromebooks have the capability to install Linux using the method in this tutorial. In order to see if you can install Linux on your Chromebook, open the settings and search Linux. If Linux comes up, you can easily install it on your Chromebook.
Follow the steps below to setup Steam on a Chromebook:
1. Open the Chromebook settings and search Linux
2. Select Turn On next to Linux Development Environment.
3. Select Install to install Linux on your Chromebook.
4. While Linux is installing, open the Chrome browser and navigate to store.steampowered.com/about/ and select the icon to the right of Apple to download the Linux version of Steam.
5. Once the file downloads, right click the file and select Install with Linux.
6. Once the details load, select Install.
7. Open Steam. If you get the following error "You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libc.so.6" continue with the next steps.
8. Reboot your Chromebook.
9. Open the terminal on your Chromebook and enter the following commands in order.
- sudo apt update
- sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
- sudo apt upgrade
- sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386

How do you download games on the chromebook
like on steam i bought a game but it won't let me install it
@@Blessing161 are you on the acer tooo...):
thank you, you are the only youtuber i found that is doing this simple the other ones are saying stuff like flip your chromeboo over unscrew the bottom and ruin your device by accident and then here is you that does it like a normal person that knows what there doing
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars great video
It’s about time someone that actually knows what they are doing good job and thank you sir
But it doesnt work
You are amazing. I was worried the Chromebook wouldn't have any gaming opportunities till I found this channel. thank you so much, your work is worth a like and a sub
Thank you! We've been trying to make it work on multiple devices for over a year, no one ever addressed all the steps you provided here!
This is probably the most high-tech thing I've ever done. I realized I had to upgrade before I did "Install with linux", but I figured that out and everything went smoothly. Thanks!
You're very welcome! Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching and please consider liking and subscribing! :)
How did you fix this. I cannot find "Install with Linux"

@@blueghost1343 you have to do the sudo apt thing again and then it will work
thankyou SO much for this! All the other tutorials are always so overly complicated and misleading for no reason, but this one was simple and straightforward! I can finally play TF2 now
wait does this mean your chromebook can run high intensity games such as cs:go?
I don't play cs:go, but if I did i'm pretty sure my chromebook could run it if I wanted it to :)@@derrickt5517
Thank you so much for this video, I was so close to returning my chromebook but this helped out a lot!
I have to go back and do it myself but just by seeing how smoothly you did it I thank you already
I know this was a couple months ago, but thank you! this really helped me a lot and I appreciate your tutorials!😁
I'm really glad you found it helpful. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching and please consider liking and subscribing! :)

PLEASE HELP. This did not work for me i have error messages in the terminal and I have no clue what to do.
Me, or the creator of the video? Because if your asking me, I just followed the tutorial and it worked, I wouldn't know, sorry. Good luck though!

Super super helpful. Thank you so much for this in depth and easy to follow tutorial ✅
oh my this is amazing! i can now play games with my friends that i couldent get before! thank you! +1 subscriber! although just in case i would like a video showing how to change my chromebook back to 64 bit. But still great video! Thank you!
it moves in 64bit?
I've been on a computer since I was 14, I'm now 55 ish... PC for the most part, dabbled in the Apple environment. I work as the IT volunteer for a 501c3 thrift store serving the homeless and other social causes. I had another volunteer bring me a Chromebook. I've never touched Linux. Never seen a chromebook. He has this problem with steam. You are a patient person. You walked stepped by step on how to fix this issue, with extra steps for 64 bit without too much l33t speak, and I can't wait to try this next week. Subbed for sure.
oh my gosh, i love you, i was really looking forward to paying sims 4 on chromebook but couldn't get it. THANK YOU!!
Despite being a kid, it was easy enough for me to follow, thank you.
Seriously great guide. Thank you!

Thank you so much it was a lot to get through but you explained it perfectly you earned a sub
Thanks so much! This worked and I always wanted to play steam on my chrome book.

thx a lot man, first vid that is actually working for me.
Thank you for this tutorial! My son had been asking me for Gary’s Mod for the longest. This was thoroughly explained without any confusion. Thanks!
can gmod run on a chromebook?
@@pokemonweeaboopikachuninja8745 Probably not lol
Whenever I try to download steam is says
E:dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run dpkg--configure -a' to correct the problem.
How do I fix this
idk its happening to me too
It worked!! This was a really helpful and amazing video!!!! Thank you!!! I was worried if this would open the door for viruses ... but virus protection should do the job and again big thanks!
linux on chromebook is being run inside a vm container, you wont get any viruses
this was amazing keep up the good work
iv'e got steam on my Chromebook now but I've ran into another issue, if i try to play any games it either says that i don't have enough storage (which i understand, can't be helped) or that it's an "invalid platform". Is there anyway to bypass this??
thank you so much for this! I was feeling so disappointed that I was not going to be able to play the new cat game, Stray, because I do not have a playstation. I was so excited to hear it was on steam, but had never used it before. Of course my laptop wasnt compatible at first but thanks to your video I dont have to miss out on an awesome new game!! You are a very good communicator!
too bad the game is boring
can you do this on a 32 bit chromebook acer?
@@Infinity_GG yep
you can play it on xbox too
@@cris-wh9xs shut up

How did you do the last part is tells me unable to locate package

@@GaugingGadgets However the last command for the terminal says unable to locate package libgll-mesa-glx:i386
Black screen fix
Hover over and click the top left of the screen and navigate down to Settings. The settings window will pop up then goto to “interface”.
There will be a setting turned on call “Enable GPU accelerated rendering of web views (requires restart)”
Disable that sucka
Steam will restart and black screen is gone.
Sir you are my savior
It worked 😮
I couldn't get it to work. Restarted again and tried it from the start and it worked. Thanks!
Great to hear! Strange how it sometimes just needs to be reboot.
second this.
@GaugingGadgets I did all of the steps but then it says missing libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 and then I re did all the steps afterr a restart and it still didn't work
I’m pretty late, but thank you so much I appreciate i spent like 2-3 hours trying to download steam but after I found this. This really help a lot
THANKS SO MUCH BRO ACTUALLY HELPED!!!!!!!!!
[LIKE DESERVED]
Very helpful I had to find out the first problem by myself but afterwards it was a breeze
what problem? because i cant seem to find out how to solve mine
THANK GOD YOU EXIST 🙏
Thank you very much a great thorough guide
You earned yourself a subscriber young man!
this is a great tutorial and I appreciate how smoothly this tutorial was put out. The only problem i am currently having right now is with the --add command for "sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386". It told me that the "--add" command was unknown somehow. Does anyone know how to fix this if this could possibly be a problem for anyone else?
I’m having the same problem
Same
same
same
yo same here dawg
for some reason everytime i put in "sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386" it doesn't work
Did you ever get any clarification on this issue? I’m having the same problem.
How do you use a mini SD card as an alternative for more disk space, to download and play games or download and use software? I just bought a mini SD card and I'm not sure how to use it to do those things
Thank you so much I always wanted to place in my Chromebook
Great tuturial, really easy too follow and clear instruction. but when steam is loaded the screen is fully black it also seems there are several people with the same problem. Could you tell us if you know how to fix this or not. it would be much apreciated.
Same
Loved the video everything was workig up until i tried to open steam after i finished putting the commands. When i opened steam it had this screen where it said to press return to proceed with the installation do you have any idea as to why this happened?
Same
Thank you so much! It helped a lot
Ohh man your the 🐐 Had a very disappointed kid until I found this video! Subscribed!!
Glad I could help
Hey thanks for the help! But I ran into an issue while running application after completion of the video…I followed every step correctly and completely
The issue is that when I open steam it says “ steam needs to install these additional packages: libc6:arm64 libegl1:arm64 libgbm:arm64 libgl1-mesa-dri:arm64 libgl1:arm64 steam-libs-amd64:amd64 “
Then it proceed to install but at this point it takes me back to that first error you encountered
I'm having the same issue
@gauginggadgets how do you fix this?
Same here.

what do I do if the terminal says this, "Unable to locate package libgl1-mesa-glx:i386"
had this issue. fix is to reinstall steam from the website and move it into linux files and install again

Ay man this works and tysm, imma have some of the best times of my life at school!! xD
I have an error and I was wondering if you could help,
When I open the steam app on my Chromebook, it shows a black screen and I can't interact with anything. Sometimes a Linux thing pops up saying that I need to press return, but when I press enter it says that I need to type in a password, but it won't let me type, so I press enter again and it says that there was an error, then it shows a downloading steam thing, then that closes almost immediately, and it all closes, but the black screen. I followed all of the steps with checking several times that I did it right, and I have restarted my computer twice. What should I do?
Update: I restarted my computer again and now the page exists on the black screen, as in there are some things that I can interact with, but the page is still black no matter what I do or click
Did you get it working yet?
Having this same issue, just a black screen every time I load up steam🥲
Hello there, I do like your video very much but it seems that everytime I finished typing everything into the terminal, it still says that I don't have 32 libraries and I have tried this several times already so I'm wondering if maybe I can get some advice on how to fix this
@Temp Orary That happened to me but a few more tries later it stopped saying that the libgl1 mesa is not found
@Temp Orary Well I was typing in the sudo this and that part instead of copying and pasting so maybe about 4 - 5 times
Though I had to be very accurate about it
