How To Download Itunes On A Chromebook Easy Install Guide

If you’re using your work or school Chromebook, you may not be able to enable Linux, even if your model is supported. In this case, you won’t be able to install iTunes on your Chromebook. However, if you subscribe to Apple Music and your Chromebook has the Play Store, you can install the Apple Music app.

When setting things up, take note of your Linux username. You will need this info later. When your Chromebook has finished setting up the Linux environment, a terminal window with a command prompt will open.

Wine is a compatibility layer that allows you to install Windows software on Linux. Since iTunes is not available for ChromeOS or Linux, you’ll need to install the Windows version of iTunes on your Chromebook, which you can do easily with Wine. If you don’t see a Terminal window with a command prompt or you closed it by accident, it’s easy to reopen. Press the Search key on your keyboard, type terminal, and click Terminal in the search results.

If prompted, press y and then Enter to proceed. Wine is now up and running on your Chromebook!

When downloading, choose the Linux files folder in the left panel, and call the file iTunesSetup. exe (or similar). You’ll need this file name in a moment, so be sure to call the file something you’ll remember.

Your Linux username is at the top of the Terminal window before the “@. "

Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/username/. wine32” wine “/home/username/. wine32/drive_c/Program Files/iTunes/iTunes. exe”

Once you open iTunes, you can sign in with your Apple ID.
