How to Open Linux Terminal on Chromebook
The Terminal app is a productivity-focused tool built into the Chrome operating system. It is the entry point to the Linux development environment on Chrome OS devices. If you plan on developing apps on your Chromebook, installing Linux apps, and other development tools, you should familiarize yourself with the Terminal app.
This tutorial covers everything you need to know about setting up and opening the Linux Terminal on Chromebook. You'll also learn how to customize the Terminal's appearance and behavior.
The Linux Terminal should not be confused with the Chrome OS Terminal, also known as the Chrome OS developer shell or “Crosh.” The Terminal is a standalone application that serves as the environment for running Linux commands on your Chromebook. You can only use the app on your Chromebook if you set up the Linux development environment.
