Hello @cedsham88,

I believe that Chromebooks use some sort of linux under the hood. So you could try to follow the installation instructions for linux here.

That is the link to the type of device that I own.

Hi @cedsham88,

The listed operating system for your device is ChromeOS, which (as @colinvwood mentioned) is a Linux-based operating system designed by Google. So you should be able to follow the instructions he provided above for a Linux install. Hope this helps!

Am I downloading the correct linux file for my samsung chrome book?

I have downloaded:

Miniconda3-py38_23.5.2.0-Linux-86_64.sh
Miniconda3-py39_23.5.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
Miniconda3-py311_23.5.2-0-Linux-x86_64.sh
Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

Hi @cedsham88,

I rejected a few of your replies due to duplicate posts. Please refrain from double/triple posting when you reply, as this will not help us to assist you any faster.

With regards to the linux files you mentioned above, it looks like you've shared a few miniconda files. I would just follow the Miniconda installation instructions for Linux, which will provide you with the correct install file:
https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/linux.html

Once that's installed, you can install QIIME 2 using these instructions:
https://docs.qiime2.org/2023.7/install/native/#install-qiime-2-within-a-conda-environment

Thanks for the information. Thats the link I used to check for the installation but the terminal didn't accept the bash code

Hi @cedsham88,

I don't have much experience with Chromebooks, but I did find this on Google's Chromebook help pages:

If you haven't enabled Linux on your machine yet, that needs to happen prior to running any bash commands in your terminal.

I also found this tutorial on installing miniconda on a Chromebook, which you may find useful:

Hi @cedsham88,

Please provide context to go along with any error messages you receive - have you enabled developer mode on your Chromebook? Did you use the miniconda install tutorial I shared in my previous message?

I have recently entered this code:

bash Anaconda3-2021.05-Linux-x86_64.sh

And this happened:

@cedsham88,

Have you enabled developer mode on your Chromebook? Did you use the miniconda install tutorial I shared in my previous message?

I used the suggestions that you gave me.

1.) The last step that I got to was using this code: bash Anaconda3-2021.05-Linux-x86_64.sh

2.) Then I had to answer: {yes/no} for the license agreement.

3.) I selected: {yes}

But the output was continuous "y" in the same way as seen below:

y

@cedsham88,

Can you provide a screenshot of your terminal that includes the yes/no license agreement along with the continuous y's you are seeing?

I will definitely send that as soon as possible
