Launch the terminal, and use apt to make sure you have the very latest Linux bits by running sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade. On my machine, this took a couple of minutes to complete when finished, there was a shiny new Terminal app icon on the app launcher, which I promptly pinned to my taskbar.

Once you’ve rebooted with the latest channel bits, you’ll see a new entry in the Settings app that offers the chance to install Linux support on your Chromebook: Once you’ve changed the channel, you will need to let Chrome OS download and install the latest bits from that channel, and then reboot.
Since this support is evolving, it’s not a bad idea to switch your device to the beta channel for Chrome OS, which will give you the latest bits (at the time of writing in January 2019, this was. Ignore the text on the screen and hit Ctrl+D, which will initiate the process after a further warning.
The system will reboot into the recovery screen (which prompts you to insert a USB stick). On a Pixelbook, you can enter developer mode by holding down the Escand Refresh keys while you press the power button.

Enough caveats? :) Getting the basics installedįor the full experience of debugging Flutter, you’ll currently need your device to be in developer mode, which removes some of the sandbox protections that would be available to a typical consumer and enables you to sideload untrusted applications that aren’t on the Play Store. And we’re not guaranteeing that every Flutter scenario will work at this stage.

Your mileage may vary things may break, and of course the performance characteristics of ChromeOS devices will be very different to those of a typical iPhone or Android device. Linux on Chromebook support is ‘beta-quality’ for now, and it requires one of the supported devices for Crostini, including Pixelbook. In the rest of this article, I’m going to provide step-by-step instructions to get this running on your own device.
This is not an emulator - the Flutter app is being executed directly on the Pixelbook (check out the target platform in the bottom-right corner of the Visual Studio Code status bar).įlutter running locally on a Pixelbook, connected with hot reload to Visual Studio Code Here’s a screenshot of this working, taken directly from a Pixelbook running Visual Studio Code locally and connected through the Android Device Bridge to a Flutter app also running locally. While a little experimental, it makes Pixelbook a fascinating device for any Flutter developer who isn’t bought into the Apple ecosystem. What is even more cool is that all this works just as well with Flutter, which means you can do all your development on-device without even needing an emulator to test your app out. This is all thanks to the Crostini project, which provides a containerized Linux instance on the device. With the new Linux on Chromebooks feature, you can now run Android Studio directly on a Pixelbook, debug over a wi-fi connection to an Android device or even run the resultant Android app locally on the Pixelbook. In a somewhat underrated talk at Google I/O 2018, Emilie Roberts announced some cool new Chrome OS features that make a Pixelbook to do Android development. Please leave a note or a comment if you see anything that’s unclear or broken in the latest builds, and I’ll fix it. But as Google continues to work on making this easier, it’s possible that you’ll see minor changes from what is shown here. Note: this article was updated in January 2019 to match newer ChromeOS builds. Newly added features in Chrome OS that let you develop and test a Flutter application without a simulator or emulator.
