How to install Steam on a Chromebook using Linux Terminal + missing files/drivers fix
Here are the list of commands:
1. sudo apt update
2. sudo apt-get install steam-launcher
Just confirm both and look in your linux apps and start it up. It will update steam as soon as you run it then you should be good to go. If you run into a problem saying you are missing files/drives input these commands to fix it:
1. sudo apt install libc6-i386
2. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
3. sudo apt-get update
4. sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libc6:i386
(To copy and paste these commands just copy the text then press ctrl+shift+v and it will paste them into terminal)
As always thanks everyone for watching and have a great day!
(I did some research and these are the requirement for running steam so some chromebook at not able to run steam)
Hardware and Software Requirements:
Steam for Linux requires the following-
1 GHz Pentium 4 or AMD Opteron with:
x86-64 (AMD64) instruction set
CMPXCHG16B instruction support (cx16 in /proc/cpuinfo flags)
SSE3 instruction support (pni in /proc/cpuinfo flags)
512 megabytes of RAM and 5 gigabytes of hard drive space, or better
Internet connection (Cable/DSL speeds recommended)
Latest Ubuntu LTS, fully updated
64-bit (x86-64, AMD64) Linux kernel
64-bit (x86-64, AMD64) and 32-bit (i386, IA32) graphics drivers and glibc
Latest graphics driver
NVidia driver support - For recent cards (e.g. series 8), you will need to install 310.x. For older cards, driver 304.x supports the NVidia 6 and 7 GPU series. To access these drivers, first update your cache and then install the specific driver you need from the list in Additional Drivers.
AMD driver support - For recent cards (e.g. series 5 and above), we recommend installing the 12.11 driver. For older video cards, Catalyst 13.1 Legacy supports the HD 2400 Pro video cards and is the latest for the 2 and 4 GPU series.
Intel HD 3000/4000 driver support - you will need to use the latest Mesa drivers, Mesa 9 or later. For installation instructions, see here.
