Hi Nick,
I downloaded Local WP on my Acer Chromebook Spin514.
I downloaded Local WP through the Linux Debian Platform-(Ubuntu etc) option.
I can start the process of creating a site, press the “plus” sign on the bottom left, create a new site option, site name, preferred option, type in username and password, errors occur and then the site is deleted automatically without even creating a site.
Please let me know what I can do to resolve this issue.
Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.
We don’t officially have Local support for Chromebook but I believe some users have gotten it to work in the past with workarounds. I don’t know if it will still work with newer versions but here is an example:
There might be a security conflict or permissions issue happening. Do you have any antivirus, security, or firewall applications that could be blocking Local?
You may want to check if there is a way to ensure you have admin privileges and that the Hosts File can be edited.
I would recommend checking their forums or documentation for assistance in using their product first. There might be some other helpful tutorials around the web as well if that’s not as fruitful.
@TamiaPellew You might be able to clear those last two errors by switching ‘router mode’ from ‘site domains’ to ‘localhost’ in Local’s preferences (press Ctrl, to open) on the ‘Advanced’ tab.
That’s what the other Chromebook user in the thread @Nick-B linked to did:
After install the dynamic library (sudo apt update && sudo apt install libnuma1) AND setup Routeur Mode on Localhost : It’s running !
As Nick mentioned, though, Local is not officially supported on Chromebook, but you’re welcome to try the above.
