To install Chromebrew on a Chromebook, you must have 

Developer Mode enabled. 

Open the crosh terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T 

If you want to customize the look/behavior, you can use the options page.

Load it by using the Ctrl-Shift-P keyboard shortcut.

Type shell and press Enter, then run the command:
