How to install Steam on Chromebook


In Chromebook we must validate that the Linux (Beta) function is active. This is a Linux terminal from which it is possible to install applications and carry out development tasks. Linux (Beta) is available on teams from 2019 onwards and on previous years teams it is only available on some models.

 

Step 1

To corroborate this we go to Configuration:

Step 2

Then we locate the Linux (Beta) option if it is available:

If it is not active, we must enable it to install Steam on Chromebook.

 

Step 3

Once Linux (Beta) is active, we go to the official Steam site:
