You can easily install the Bedrock Edition directly from the Google Play Store. Simply open the store, search for Minecraft, and navigate to its page. Note that the full version costs $20. However, if you already own the Android version, which is priced at $7, you'll only need to pay an additional $13. This method is ideal for those who prefer a straightforward installation process.

To begin, you'll need to enable Developer Mode on your Chromebook. Access the settings menu through the equivalent of the "Start" menu and navigate to the "Developers" section. Enable the "Linux development environment" option. Follow the on-screen instructions, and once the process is complete, the Terminal will open. This is similar to the command prompt in Windows and will be used for further steps.
