Working on Chrome OS

Setting up the development environment

Chrome OS does not have a Linux console by default, but one can be installed via settings. To get started, open the Settings app and scroll down. Then expand the advanced options and scroll down until you see the Developers header. Below there should be an option to activate the Linux development environment. Once you click this button you will be prompted to enter a username and a size to allocate for linux. The default 10Gb should be enough.

Install required tools

You need a GCC (or alternative C99 compiler) and make. Git should be automatically installed.

sudo apt install build-essential

Optionally, you could use CMake building system.

sudo apt install cmake
