✎ Running Shell on Other OSs [GTALUG Wiki]

There are times when you need to run Unix shell, usually for one-off script or quick test.  Here are ways I found to run shell on Chromebook, Android phone, and Windows.

* **Chromebook** -- There are 3 ways.
    - **crosh** -- From Chrome browser or desktop, type <Ctrl-Alt-T> and you will get "crosh>" command prompt.  This is native Chrome OS shell.  Type ''help'' to get a list of commands available.  Most commands at this level are simple, eg. ''ping''.
    - **Bash** -- From "crosh>" command prompt, type ''shell'' to get a full Bash shell.  You have to enable "developer mode" to get access to the shell command.  Chromebook can be switched into developer mode by pressing <Esc-Refresh-Power>, and then follow instructions.
    - **Ubuntu/Debian** -- Install "crouton" in developer mode.  This installs Ubuntu/Debian in chroot environment, where you can switch between the default Chrome OS and Ubuntu/Debian.
