The Missing Package Manager For Chrome OS. Chromebooks with ChromeOS run a Linux kernel. The only missing pieces to use as a full-featured Linux distro were gcc and make with their dependencies. Well, these pieces aren't missing anymore. Say hello to Chromebrew. In fact, Chromebrew is a simple Ruby script. There's also some Git involved, so we needed both of these things to run it on a bare Chrome OS. We have prebuilt them along with their dependencies to install into your system during installation. So, basically, after installing Chromebrew, you will have fully functional Ruby with Rubygems, Git, and a package manager dedicated just to your Chromebook.
