My students are new to programming and I use Processing in my CSP course. How can they download Processing to their Chromebooks?

Hi @lnoss,

Welcome to the forum! 😉

Chromebooks run ChromeOS as their main operating system and therefore it mainly supports web apps and specific apps.

You have two solutions:

- Enable Linux and try to install Processing like you would do on a Linux computer

- The most obvious way would be to use p5js since it’s JavaScript and it can run on any browser. You can use the [p5 web editor](https://editor.p5js.org/) and start coding directly without installing any apps.
