Install Godot 4 on Linux Debian on a Chromebook?

GodotBeginnerRich

Is the above possible? I found instructions on Google on Monday and attempted it but it says I don't have permission to install it or something? And I downloaded the Linux flavour from the Godot website, and it says it's not compatible to the OS?

Can anyone help?

as far as i know, the 3.x version is also in the debian repository itself.....
make sure to take the right version (64/32bit) and you dont have to install it.... just unzip and lounch it from the folders executable...

michurebmann Yep, I successfully installed version 3 via the Linux terminal last week, but I tried to install version 4 as well yesterday and that failed.

you could try via steam.... or try over Ubuntu or Linux Mint repo (googlo how to get those) tey are debian based too, but mostly more actual program versions then debian it self
i would recomend anyway use ubuntu or Mint(mint has gui similar to windows)

I'm on Ubuntu at my Parents' and managed to download/run version 4 earlier.

The Chromebook needs to be an x86 CPU (usually Intel) not ARM. If you have ARM, you'll have to use the Android version (on the Play Store). For Debian Linux you just have to make sure you have the right architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) but I think most Linux distros are 64 now. Permissions are just a standard Linux thing probably not related to Godot.
