Greetings. I've got 8.1 running on ChromeOS Flex running on a Dell laptop. The main trick is that you need to enable the Linux Developer Environment, then load JRE from the "penguin" command line. You'll then download the Linux version of the client launcher from your gateway and unpack it to the "Linux Files" directory, where it will then be available in your Linux user home directory. The rest of the necessary steps are nearly the same for a standard Linux install, and are covered in this forum thread: > [@Install Vision Client Launcher for Linux](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/install-vision-client-launcher-for-linux/45024/9?page=2): > > Blindly dropping complete applications into a folder standardized to hold just .desktop files is begging for breakage. If you want to install for all users, expand somewhere in /usr/local/ or /usr/share or /opt, then copy just the .desktop file into /usr/share/applications/. Tweak the paths in the copied file so it points where you actually put the complete application. Similarly, if you want install just for yourself, but have the icon show in the menu properly, expand into a folder in $HOME,… Once I've done this a few times, I plan to document all of these steps in one place and post them here and in that thread. Hope this is helpful. Cheers! Paul --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/anyone-succuessfully-run-vision-8-1-on-a-chrome-book-chrome-os/88836)._
