I just recently bought an Acer Chromebook 11 and I would like to do some Python programming on it. How do I run Python from a USB stick on an Acer Chromebook 11? (Also, I don't have access to wifi at the place I want to use it.)

  • Depends on the complexity. I'm not too familiar with the limitations of a Chromebook but you might be able to get away with using services like [CodeAnywhere](https://codeanywhere.com/) – Mangohero1 Jul 11 '17 at 14:18
  • I'll look into that. If it works, that means I don't have to install Java and have to carry around more stuff. – BarnOwl Jul 11 '17 at 14:27
  • You can install Python using [Miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html), although you will need to enable developer mode for this. For more information see [this asnwer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/64201789). –  Oct 08 '20 at 03:51

On some chromebooks, like the one I'm using now, there is a Linux(beta) option in the options menu. Alternatively, you can use repl.it instead, although be aware that playing sound and using geocoder will work server-side instead, so the sound will not play, and the ip adress will be in New York.

  1. Click "Settings>Linux(beta)>Turn On".
  2. Run "App Launcher>Terminal".
  3. Type python -v or python3 -v.
  4. If Python is not installed, download Python source file in https://www.python.org/downloads/source/.
  5. Compile .tgz file.

If you have problems, try https://ide.goorm.io/. It is a web compiler for many programming languages, including Python. It has Linux command line too.
