Code on Chromebook

install.sh

#!/bin/sh
# Follow instructions here to enable dev mode and start VM
# https://github.com/lstoll/cros-crostini/blob/master/README.md

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libasound2 libxss1 wget

wget -qO- https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=620884 | tar xvz

# Launch code
./VSCode-linux-x64/bin/code

# Other programs can be installed/run with apt-get and will launch with a gui

I also needed this for VS Code to start (and probably any electron app):

sudo apt-get install -y libgconf-2-4 libnss3-dev
