Not possible.

Chrome OS isn't real linux and not even steam can be installed on a chromebook let alone standard linux programs.

Some people have done crazy type of hacks to get some things to run on it. But you need to be a linux wizard and still have a lot of luck.

A lot of it has to do with getting a different distro of linux on the chrome book.

Chromebooks are really only good for students or business people that remote into their "real" work computers. If you need any real world business application or program you are basically out of luck and this includes real video games not the mobile like games

RickD, I think I remember you many years ago from the Baseball Mogul Forums, I hope all is well.

Your best bet is to return your chrome book and get a windows or mac computer.
