installing issues on a pixelbook

[Jonas Lund]

Keep getting this

tar (child): xz: Cannot exec: No such file or directory

tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now

tar: Child returned status 2

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

ERROR: extracting the GAM archive with tar failed with error 2. Exiting.

any clues?

I know it worked before to install on a pixelbook

The Crostini environment is pretty bare to begin with. Try running:

sudo apt install xz python3

First and then rerunning the GAM install script.

Try replacing xz with xz-utils.

Beginnings of a Wiki article. Would appreciate a critical eye:

I'd like to get one up for Android also. I have no issues running GAM on my Pixel 2 with Userland these days either.

Android instructions for those who are curious. The ARM GAM builds should be more stable and up to date now that Travis can build the arm64 / aarch64 binaries.
