Hello, did you manage to install Pyzo? Because I really need it and I'm considering buying a Chromebook for that reason, thanks.

Hello,

In response to messages #2 and #3.

Personally, I don't have a Chromebook, so I can't tell you more than the tutorial. But you can probably feel reassured by looking for video tutorials that show people successfully installing Pyzo.

From what I see in this video (see at 3:50), there is a Linux mode in ChromeOS that allows you to launch a Linux terminal. So you would just need to follow these installation instructions to get Pyzo working. If we go a little further in the video (around 4:50), we see that it is based on APT, similar to Linux distributions like Debian and Ubuntu.

Therefore, we can reasonably hope that the packages you might need are directly available in APT without needing to install Pyzo. For more details on using APT, you can check this page.

The main commands to know are:

  • sudo apt update: to re-index available updates
  • sudo apt upgrade: to install available updates
  • sudo apt install ... : to install a package
  • sudo apt purge ... : to purge (uninstall + remove configuration) a package
  • apt-cache search ... : to search for a package by its name and description
  • apt-file search ...: to search within the contents of a package (you must first run sudo apt-file update)

Example:

sudo apt update sudo apt install python3 python3-numpy

Good luck

Hello,

I confirm: the Linux virtual machine of Chrome OS is Debian 11.

You first need to enable Linux on the Chromebook. To do this, go to "Advanced settings", click on "Developers" then "Linux development environment", and click on "Enable."


You will then need to wait while Linux downloads and installs, which will take several minutes; afterwards, you will find an icon for the Linux terminal in the application launcher. Click on it to open the terminal and type the commands from the tutorial to install Pyzo. Once it is installed, there will be a shortcut in the launcher.

As it stands, there is no Linux package manager installed, you need to use the command line to manage packages.

You can install all applications contained in the Debian repositories.
