get into developer mode.

####(This wipes all the memory, so backup anything local)
esc + refresh then tap power
This is now in recovery mode.

A nasty warning screen will show up

ctrl + D
Another nasty warning screen

ctrl + D
It will take about 10 minutes.

From now on, every reboot you'll need to:

ctrl + D (or wait 30 seconds)
###NOTE:
ctrl + alt + --> then <-- switches between Chrome OS & chronos dev terminal window
(this is available once Chrombook is in dev mode)

Download crouton.

http://goo.gl/fd3zc
Open terminal, type:

ctrl + alt + t
shell
Check if crouton has the ubuntu version you want

(for me it's 14.04 LTS)

sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r list
Find the ubuntu code name

(14.04 LTS == trusty)

List out options for installing

sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t help
Let’s install trusty (desktop ubuntu version)

sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r trusty -n ubuntu -t cli-extra
sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r trusty -n ubuntu -t unity,keyboard,extension,cli-extra
sudo enter-chroot
sudo startunity
###NOTE:
ctrl + shift + alt + <-- or --> switches between Chrome OS & Unity
Open xterm

sudo apt-get update
Install gnome-terminal (so .bashrc && .profile work)

sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal
Close xterm and start using Terminal


Get my php environment working

sudo apt-get install php5 apache2 mysql-server php5-cli php5-mysql
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
sudo apt-get install git php5-curl sendmail
sudo apt-get install ruby nodejs curl vim

Install RVM

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash
If prompted, then:

source /home/***USERNAME****/.rvm/scripts/rvm
Setup your ruby version and default to it

rvm install 1.9.3-head
rvm --default 1.9.3-head
rvm use 1.9.3-head --default
Install some gems

gem install bundler
gem install rails
Install this! (needed in order for gem install mysql2 to work)

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

Test rails to make sure it’s working

Before testing

I add my user to group www

then give that group/permissions to the /var/www/ directory

cd /var/
sudo addgroup www
sudo usermod -aG www username
sudo chown -R root:www www/
sudo chmod -R g+w www/
I needed to exit chroot for my permissions to be updated so I can create a rails project

exit
sudo enter-chroot
cd /var/www/
rails new testing
VIOLA!

Now lets delete this test

(unless you want to continue testing it)

sudo rm -r testing/

Let’s see if mysql works

mysql -u root -p
If you get this error:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)

You'll always need to start the service

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
Try again

mysql -u root -p
BAM!


Test that apache is working

(Type in localhost in a browser tab)

if “Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page” loads, YAY!!!

Update /etc/apache/sites-available/000-default.conf

Change:

DocumentRoot /var/www/html
to:

DocumentRoot /var/www
Then restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart

Let’s test rails

cd /var/www/your-rails-project/

rails s
(Type in http://0.0.0.0:3000 in a browser tab)

It loads… YAY!
