Netflix / Google Chrome
Now that Valve has added updated dependencies to the Alchemist repos all you need to get Netflix working is to install Google Chrome. Google Chrome now has all the dependencies and is allowed by Netflix to watch using HTML5.
This tutorial will walk you through the steps of installing Google Chrome and, hence, get Netflix working. Make sure your keyboard is hooked up (for those who only use controllers), and be ready to use the Linux terminal. I always recommend before you run any command you make sure you have some idea what it will do, you can do this with man (command) in the terminal or with Google. Anyways lets get started.
Head to the desktop to get started.
Head to Applications -> Iceweasel to launch the built-in web browser
After that here and click Download Chrome for another platform. Then select Linux -> 64 bit .deb file
Once that is downloaded head back to Applications -> Terminal and prepare for the command-line
Now that the terminal is open we need to get to the directory Chrome downloaded to, we can get there with this command:
cd /home/desktop/Downloads/
To install Chrome now, we need to run this command.
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
Now Chrome should be installed and you can launch it from the Applications tray. To watch Netflix, just head to the website like you normally do.
