0.049 -> Welcome friends
1.049 -> In this video I will show you
3.09 -> how to install Chromium OS
4.98 -> on any laptop or PC
7.46 -> Hi friends
9.08 -> welcome to our YouTube channel
11.06 -> howisolve.com
12.47 -> This is Neil
13.47 -> Before we start this tutorial
15.36 -> Let us first
16.36 -> take a look at what you can expect
18.06 -> from Chromium OS
20.289 -> Chromium OS is the open-source version of
22.64 -> Google's Chrome OS
24.119 -> which has been specifically designed
26.679 -> keeping in mind a specific hardware configuration
30.369 -> that is the Chromebook
32.23 -> due to this reason
33.26 -> the hardware support for Chromium OS
35.51 -> is not that developed
37.32 -> the specific build of Chromium OS
40.37 -> that we will be installing
41.929 -> has been made available
43.379 -> Thanks to ArnoldTheBat
45.35 -> we will be using this build
47.949 -> which has additional hardware support
49.85 -> than what is currently available in
52.8 -> vanilla Chromium OS
54.46 -> but even then
56.399 -> one might face a lot of bugs
57.859 -> due to incompatible drivers
60.749 -> you can open a bug report
62.559 -> at the GitHub project
64.28 -> the links of which
65.28 -> is provided in the video description
67.4 -> this will ensure that the future builds
69.52 -> will support your hardware
71.8 -> having said that
72.8 -> I would advise you
73.8 -> to first try running Chromium OS
75.84 -> as a live operating system
77.7 -> from a pen drive
79.24 -> if you are satisfied
80.24 -> with the performance
81.24 -> then you can install it
82.39 -> on your system
83.39 -> in this tutorial
84.79 -> I will show you
85.93 -> how to make this
86.93 -> live USB Chromium OS pen drive
89.36 -> and then
90.36 -> how to use that for installing it
93.85 -> so let's start
95.77 -> the prerequisites for this guide are
98.91 -> you will require a system
100.95 -> with at least 2 GB RAM
103.59 -> a spare hard disk or solid state drive
106.77 -> which you can completely erase
109.29 -> since the installation will require it
111.02 -> to be erased completely
112.39 -> also your system should have Wireless LAN support
115.66 -> since Chromium OS depends on that
117.76 -> also for installation
119.16 -> you will require 8 GB pen drive
121.21 -> also you will have to download
122.5 -> the Chromium OS special build from Arnold
125.28 -> the links for which
126.31 -> are provided in the video description down
128.71 -> and you will require two software
130.36 -> for making the installation pen drive
132.39 -> that is 7zip and win32 image writer
135.89 -> the links for these two software
137.4 -> are also provided down in the video description
139.84 -> which you can see
140.84 -> by clicking on the view more button
143.19 -> this is the 7zip download website
145.5 -> depending on your system architecture
147.28 -> either 32 bit or 64 bit
149.09 -> select the proper download link
151.64 -> since my system is 64 bit
153.05 -> I will select this download link
155.06 -> over here download .exe 64 bit x64
160.39 -> this one
161.39 -> this is the site for downloading image writer
163.89 -> to get the download link from this site
165.96 -> click on this link
167.23 -> over here external downloads
168.93 -> then the download should automatically start
171.04 -> here it started downloading
173.069 -> and the next thing
174.069 -> that we will require to download is
175.43 -> our Chromium OS special image
177.84 -> provided by ArnoldTheBat
180.56 -> so for that will open that website
183.79 -> that is chromium.arnoldthebat.co.uk
187.319 -> ok on this site you will see 3 directories
191.1 -> that is daily special and weekly
193.48 -> click on the special directory over here
195.569 -> under this you will find several versions of Chromium OS
199.35 -> what we are interested is
200.78 -> in the latest special build release of Chromium OS
203.99 -> so to get that first
205.06 -> we will order this list by last modified tab
209.62 -> click on last modified again
211.77 -> click on last modified
213.04 -> ok
214.04 -> so the latest version available is
215.9 -> CAMD64OS 7zip file
222.87 -> this also has got two versions
224.68 -> depending on your system architecture
226.08 -> select either 64 bit or an X86 bit
229.81 -> since my system is 64 bit
231.38 -> I will select this file over here
233.11 -> at the time of recording this video
235.4 -> the latest version of special build
237.12 -> was released on October 30th 2016
240.21 -> ok once we have got all these utilities downloaded
244.34 -> we will install them respectively
246.86 -> the 7zip and win32diskimager
247.86 -> installation process is simple
249.37 -> so I will skip that process
251.02 -> and we will straight away go to
252.42 -> creation of installation medium
254.86 -> so first I'll go to my downloads folder
257.739 -> this is the file that I have downloaded
260.59 -> to extract it right-click on it
263.689 -> and select 7zip and then
266.46 -> click on extract here
268.3 -> after extraction you will get a file
271.12 -> of 7.5 gigabits size
272.99 -> it would be named as ChromiumOS_image.img
275.36 -> this file over here
277.82 -> after extracting it
279.52 -> insert your pen drive into your system
282.979 -> and open the win32image software
285.99 -> here this is the software
286.99 -> win32diskimager ok
290.289 -> in this
291.289 -> it will ask for the image file
292.59 -> so we will open that file
294.46 -> click on this icon over here
295.779 -> to browse for that file
297.599 -> go to the downloads folder
298.86 -> or wherever you have saved that extracted image file
302.24 -> that 7.14 GB file
304.199 -> so I have saved it in
306.039 -> downloads compressed over here
308.059 -> this is the file
309.059 -> I will select that
310.61 -> go to the software win32diskimager
312.979 -> and then select your device
315.61 -> under here be very careful at this stage
318.409 -> to select the proper device
320.36 -> otherwise you might erase your hard disk
324.9 -> make sure that I am selecting my pen drive
326.96 -> I will just check
328.5 -> Check it in my my computer
330.089 -> here this is my pen drive
331.71 -> that is the j drive
332.91 -> I will go in the software
334.439 -> and select J drive
337.139 -> make sure that you don't have
338.199 -> any files that you would like to backup
340.24 -> before continuing this process
343.02 -> because after this
344.02 -> the entire pen drive would be erased
345.939 -> and you won't be able to recover
347.159 -> any files from it
348.4 -> so after selecting a proper device
349.9 -> and after making sure
351.03 -> that you have got all the backups
352.559 -> for the data present on the pen drive
354.689 -> click on write
356.589 -> this process will take around 10 to 15 minutes
359.509 -> depending on your pen drive speed
361.65 -> and your USB port
363.56 -> after this process is finished
365.229 -> you should get a properly bootable Chromium OS
368.36 -> on your pen drive
369.68 -> so once this process is finished
371.569 -> you can remove the pen drive
373.3 -> and load it on the system
374.639 -> on which you want to install Chromium OS
376.55 -> we will do that right now
378.669 -> I will install Chromium OS
380.229 -> on my old Dell in N5010 laptop
384.009 -> so I will insert my USB drive in it
388.339 -> and then I have to boot it via the USB drive
391.479 -> for that depending on your machine
393.849 -> you will either have to change your BIOS setting
395.999 -> and set a higher priority to your USB drive
399.589 -> in the BIOS setup
400.589 -> or you might choose it from a boot menu
403.46 -> to select a pen drive as your boot medium
407.419 -> I will show you how to change it
409.389 -> in your BIOS on my laptop
411.569 -> so for that
412.569 -> you will have to enter the BIOS setup
414.639 -> this also depends on your computer
416.249 -> and you can Google search it
417.46 -> for which key
418.59 -> your model allows you to enter the BIOS setup
422.029 -> in this dell laptop
423.629 -> I have to press the F2 key to enter the BIOS setup
428.469 -> so I'll do that right now
429.61 -> ok now I am in the BIOS setup
432.409 -> to change the boot medium preference
435.999 -> I will go to the boot setup
438.699 -> and set the first boot priority
441.11 -> to my USB drive
442.61 -> as you can see from my current settings
445.139 -> it is set at USB storage device itself
448.009 -> because this laptop actually doesn't have a hard disk
451.289 -> I usually use puppy Linux on this
453.16 -> via USB drive
454.16 -> so that's why it's already been set properly
456.849 -> and no change is required in my system
460.589 -> now I'll let it boot into Chromium OS
462.909 -> so I will just restart it
465.58 -> it will load Chromium OS and as you can see
468.999 -> Chromium OS logo is being shown
471.369 -> and it's loading now
472.819 -> depending on your system hardware
474.839 -> it is possible
476.349 -> that you might not see this boot Logo
479.389 -> in that case there is some compatibility issue
481.469 -> with your graphic card and Chromium OS drivers
484.11 -> so you'll have to report this bug
487.619 -> on the bug report page
489.349 -> that I had discussed previously
491.349 -> ok anyway so in my case
494.289 -> it boots properly into the boot screen
496.099 -> and as you can see
497.58 -> I have already setup my account
499.699 -> in your case it will show you
501.449 -> a welcome screen and ask you to set it up
503.659 -> you will required to configure your WiFi connection
505.779 -> after doing that
506.789 -> you can login to your account
508.809 -> and check whether the Chromium OS
510.419 -> is supporting all your hardware
512.199 -> if not
513.199 -> then again you will have to
514.219 -> either report it on the GitHub page
516.81 -> or you might have to tweak the hardware drivers
520.68 -> if you know to do it
522.339 -> but anyway
523.339 -> after validating that the Chromium OS
524.85 -> is running properly on your system
526.47 -> we will continue with the installation process
529.759 -> that is to install it on your hard disk
532.449 -> so for doing that Press Ctrl + Alt + F2
536.13 -> you can press this button anytime after
538.59 -> Chromium OS has loaded
543.35 -> so I will press it now
546.49 -> Control Alt and F2
547.68 -> ok now you will be brought to this Developer Console
550.69 -> where you have to login
552.13 -> using your default login
554.3 -> the default username is chronos
556.85 -> so I will login using chronos
563.269 -> as my username hit enter
569.29 -> and no password should be asked
571.1 -> after you come to this prompt
573.06 -> type in lsblk hit enter
579.13 -> what this command will do is
583.18 -> it will list down all your disc drives
585.16 -> and their respective sizes
586.16 -> that are currently connected to your system
588.699 -> as you can see in my case
591.06 -> there are basically three disk types
593.699 -> that it has identified that is sda sr0 and loop0
597.98 -> sda is my pen drive
601.23 -> and since this system doesn't have any hard drive
604.15 -> so there is no other drive mentioned
608.04 -> sr0 and loop0 are part of the system memory itself
612.16 -> so in your system
614.089 -> find out the code
615.899 -> for your hard disc or solid state drive
618.66 -> it might be sda or sdb
621.2 -> depending on your system configuration
622.66 -> after you have identified disk code
625.579 -> type this command followed by your harddisk code
629.18 -> in my case I'll just for dummy purpose
631.639 -> I will just select the pen drive itself
635.16 -> it will not allow me to install
636.34 -> but just for demonstration purpose
638.279 -> I will show you what happens
639.329 -> so I will select sda
640.87 -> before you hit enter I would like to warn you
644.67 -> that after this command all the content
647.759 -> on this particular disk drive
649.23 -> that you mentioned here
650.56 -> will get erased
651.6 -> so make sure that
653.019 -> you have got proper backup
654.569 -> or there is no data
655.57 -> that you require from this particular disk drive
658.68 -> ok having said that
659.839 -> I'll just hit enter
661.259 -> ok now as you can see
664.13 -> it started to check whether the image
666.67 -> that's on the pen drive is correct or not
669.23 -> It has also mentioned that
670.41 -> this disk drive is the same as from which it has booted
674.449 -> so in the end it won't succeed
676.64 -> but I am showing you this process for demonstration purpose
681.129 -> in your case that warning would not be shown
683.589 -> ok after this installation is finished
686.589 -> it might take around 15 to 20 min or 1 hour
690.279 -> it all depends on your system configuration
692.25 -> If you are using SSD
693.94 -> it would be quite quick
695.449 -> if it's a hard disk
697.11 -> then it might take a long time
699.3 -> after installation is finished
700.92 -> you can set up your Google account
703.22 -> and then I will show you how to update this system
706.18 -> ok after you have completed installation
708.129 -> login into your account
710.35 -> I will login as guest
711.959 -> ok the Chrome Browser will open up
714.22 -> so to update this Chromium OS
716.269 -> what you have to do is
718.129 -> go into the settings
719.5 -> click on this 3 dots icon over here
722.509 -> and then click on settings
724.55 -> and under here click on about Chromium OS
727.68 -> over here and here
729.75 -> click on this button
731.11 -> check for and apply update
733.49 -> so as soon as ArnoldTheBat releases an update
736.25 -> you will get the latest version of Chromium OS on your system
