I don't mean to spread FUD, but ... in my extensive experience with chromebooks, developer mode is something to be avoided, unless you are the only person with physical access to the computer, and you're very careful. The problem is that whenever you turn on the laptop it will display a big white screen with an inviting "press return" (or something) message. If the person who sees that screen actually does so, instead of waiting 30 seconds or hitting control-d (?), then your entire developer mode install is completely wiped (!). And I couldn't figure out how to password protect things to stop that (maybe it's possible -- I don't know). It's really a *developer mode* -- not something to be recommended for anything except ChromeOS development. I have at least twice had completely innocent people inadvertently wipe my developer mode'd laptops... My chromebooks are now all just stock, and I use Sage this way: http://symmetricblog.wordpress.com/2013/11/26/chromebook/ William > The sandbox for native chrome apps (i.e. nacl) is too restrictive for Sage. > > > > > On Tuesday, March 18, 2014 1:44:34 PM UTC-4, kcrisman wrote: >> >> Sorry to resuscitate this one... >> >> >> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22483859/is-there-a-way-to-install-latex-sage-and-gap-on-a-chromebook >> >> asks whether Sage native on Chromebook is available.
