In the event that your laptop does not comply with them, you should know that, even if you can install it, the operating system will be slow. You will not have a good experience using it. Here’s how to install Android 12L on a Chromebook step by step.

Set up Linux on the Chromebook

• The first thing you need to do is install Linux on your Chromebook . If you don’t know how to do it, you can take a look at this Linux installation guide on Chromebook.
• Once Linux is installed you will have the Terminal app on your Chromebook.
• Open the Terminal app and type the command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade-y .
• If this command fails, put the following first: sudo apt-get update–allow-releaseinfo-change . Then repeat the above command.
• The next thing is to install the Java Development Kit (JDK), for this you must type the following command in the Terminal app: sudo apt-y install default-jdk libnss3 .
• With these steps you will have configured and updated Linux on your Chromebook to be able to install the program where you will emulate Android 12L.

Install Android Studio on your Chromebook

• Now you need the Android Studio program, since with this you will emulate Android 12L. You can download it at this link . Remember to download the Canary version .
• The file you downloaded will be in DEB format. Now you have to move it to the Linux file folder.
• Once you are in this folder, open the file to install Android Studio.
• We recommend that you be patient, as this process can be a bit slow.
• After installing it, you will find the program in the Linux apps folder. Open Android Studio and complete the initial setup of the program.
• We recommend that you keep everything to the default options. Press next until the configuration is finished.

• At the top left of the window you just opened will be the Create Device button, click it.
• Now hit Category option, choose Tablets and then you can select Nexus 7 or Pixel C device, both work for this tutorial.
• Hit next and the next thing to do is download the file called Sv2 . This is the codename for Android 12L.
• When the download is finished, click Finish. Now you will go back to the previous window and you will see the new device that you have created. Here you will only have to press the play button and voila, this will start the Android 12L emulation on your Chromebook.
