Compiling Inkscape on Chrome OS

From Inkscape Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Chrome OS offers beta support for Linux apps on some Chromebook models starting with version 69. The Linux environment on Chrome OS is called Crostini and is basically a virtual machine that runs Debian with a few custom packages. It can be used to run and develop Inkscape.

Supported hardware

Inkscape can only be compiled on Chromebooks that support Linux apps. There is a list available on the Crostini subreddit's wiki. Pixelbook, Pixel Slate and several other premium Chromebook models are known to work and include both x86-64 and ARM64 models. 32-bit ARM and Intel Chromebooks are not supported.

You will need at least 4 GB of disk space for the Inkscape repository and the intermediate build files, plus some space for the Crostini installation, dependencies and tools. We recommend at least 6 GB of free space.
