I just downloaded unity to my chromebook and I only have uxterm and xterm but I don't have the regular terminal and it wont let me download software center in either uxterm or xterm so I need help getting terminal, software center and a browser. I have look at many videos on youtube already and tried all the steps in the video but none of them worked. Help would be appreciated thank you. Also when ever I try apt-get update or upgrade it says premission denied and are you root?

Your on xterm and cannot download software center which is a GUI app and your on console.. I suggest you use apt-get to install software and you begin with installing ubuntu-desktop and then you can install your browsers and related.. there is one browser you could use called elinks
to install Ubuntu desktop
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
or install gnome desktop
sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment
then install your software center or use apt-get. To install the commandline browser
sudo apt-get install elinks
and browse like this
elinks www.google.com #opens Google
Good luck!
To install packages with apt-get, you must have root privileges. The easiest way to do that is to type sudo
in front of the commands which require root privileges. For example, to install gnome-terminal, the command would be sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal
; you will then need to type your password before the command runs. You should use sudo
for the update and upgrade commands as well, since they all require root privileges.
To install any package, you should use the command sudo apt-get install <package-name>
, replacing <package-name>
by the actual name of the package you wish to install. Here are some packages you might be interested in installing:
Terminal: gnome-terminal
Web browser: firefox
, chromium-browser
(note: this is Chromium, not Google Chrome, although it is similar)
Ubuntu Software Center: software-center
Press ctrl+alt+T
to open Terminal and after doing so try the below command,
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/tor-browser
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tor-browser
