How to download Python or text editors on a chromebook? I am unable to download from websites such as pyhton.org they only have options to download for microsoft, MAC, and linux no chromebook option. I am unable to download anything from google play store as well. i have attempted to download a google chrome extension as thats what my search online yielded, and failed.
Just enable Linux on your Chromebook, which is necessary to do any kind of local development on it anyway, and it will already have a semi-recent-ish version of Python installed. Just run python3 and boom, it should just work, no need to install anything.
I am not able to download the browser extension on chrome.
The message says it ist blocked by my organization (I am on a private, not policy-driven standard pc).
The message keeps the same even when disabling safe-browsing.
For many people who purchase a new Windows 10 PC, Microsoft's built-in Edge browser has one purpose: to download an alternate browser like Google Chrome. The most common way to do this for people who don't have the URL memorized? Type "download Chrome" in the address bar and click the first result provided by Bing search. Unfortunately those unsuspecting users have a high chance of downloading malware and adware. That's because Bing has been serving up malicious but highly visible Google Chrome ads for months .
This weekend, Twitter user Gabriel Landau enjoyed his first few hours with a Windows 10 laptop by doing this exact thing (video in Twitter link). The top result for his "download chrome" search via Edge looked ordinary enough. Except that when he clicked it the resulting domain was "GoogleOnline2018.com." The fake site isn't an exact copy of Google's own Chrome landing page, but looks genuine enough to fool people. The download itself is called "ChromeSetup.exe," but examining the digital signature reveals "Alpha Criteria Ltd." That's definitely not Google.
The malicious URL that Bing is happy to promote can't fool Google or Firefox. When I simply type the above URL into my Firefox browser I'm faced with a bold red page declaring "Deceptive Site Ahead" completely with details and an option to go back.
Chris Hoffman, EIC of How-To Geek was able to reproduce this error, and several users on Twitter have also complained about it. In his article he points out that the ad comes into rotation every few page refreshes. Because I can't obtain that result on a fresh Windows 10 install, I suspect it may be targeting users geographically (I live in Europe).
I searched the web for similar complaints and found an article from Bleeping Computer dated April 2018. The same type of hijack using Bing Ads from Edge, displayed as the top result, leading to a fake Chrome download that serves up some particularly nasty adware in its installer. The most noticeable difference was the domain name "NewChromeDownload.com."
There's a pattern here, and it's a disturbing one. How many people have been affected by these short-lived but recurring hijacks that Microsoft is letting through to millions of people? It's inexcusable that these types of ads aren't vetted properly, especially when the majority of browsers automatically know these sites are unsafe.
Isolated issues like this -- one search term in one browser with one search engine -- may not seem significant. But when looking at Windows 10 as a whole, things look considerably darker. Microsoft is letting devastating file-deleting bugs through its Windows 10 updates even after being warned by its team of Windows Insider testers. The update process is unreliable and cumbersome compared to operating systems like Ubuntu.
If you must use Windows 10, go directly to Chrome.com to download Google's browser, or to Mozilla.org for Firefox. Commit those to memory or just open up Edge and browse directly to google.com. I also highly recommend installing a tracking blocker like DuckDuckGo. If you choose to use the Edge browser, remove Bing as your default search provider by following these steps.
UPDATE: The Bing Ads Twitter account has removed the malicious ad and banned the account, saying "Hi Gabriel, protecting customers from malicious content is a top priority and we have removed the ads from Bing and banned the associated account. We encourage users to continue to report this type of content at so we can take appropriate action."

Wanted to start a new one with the focus on Intel and M1
Thanks to @cbrewer for the solution I did not need to choose between and intel and an M1 installer, I also Changed the .dmg to a .pkg with the extra bit of agreeing to the license etc, with the appended URL.
Any reason you're not just using the universal copy for all Macs?
Also, Google offers a package installer which might be preferred depending on what you're trying to accomplish. I believe the package installer will install the Google Keystone updater for you, but maybe you're trying to avoid that.
Good to know, I mean it makes sense that the Universal version is, well Universal! I think I was confused as when you go and manually download they make a really big deal about choosing an Intel Installer vs the arm64 (M1 installer).
Wondering why they would make you choose if there was not difference. Why wouldn't google just have everyone download the Universal version? Maybe google got lazy on this one, like at one time there were 2 diff packages.
To be fair this does what I set out to do, maybe the architecture lookup can help someone who finds an app where they actually are separate. I already have one in my env. We also have Google Chrome Manager in place so that takes care of all of the settings we need.
I believe he is saying in the script if you replace all of the .dmg with .pkg the installer will come down as a .pkg instead. And change the install part from Copy the contents to run the installer. I can see if I can work on that bit.
The link is in the script above, that is a universal installer which I currently have working for both intel and M1, I just tried this script before responding to make sure. As long as you run as root locally you should be all set.
I see that it downloaded the file and mounted the DMG. but again same. it fails to process the installer. I am starting to think that something else may be an issue. I installed rosetta earlier, as it was required by another app.
I have these in place as best practices for my Org is to have the Self Service Policy do the following:
1. Stop the running process of the app.
2. Remove the current installed version.
3. Install current version
4. Launch the app.
All of these are named in specific alphabetical order so they launch in appropriate sequence.
Just to make sure, I have also had the script that only calls the universal installer working on M1 as well, just ran it. (Used the exact set of scripts as above, only swapping the Download and Install Google Chrome Script")
I'm looking to run this script and it runs fine in terminal, but does not run when deployed via Self Service. Chrome isn't our primary browser, so it's only available there and will be left up to the user to update. No part of the script, from beginning to end runs properly. It's like self service isn't even trying to run it. Any ideas on where this could be hanging up? It has been copied and pasted directly from the latest script above.
I ended up with the same result. Just a failure notification from Self Service and seemingly no activity takes place. I'm watching /tmp for the googlechrome folder to appear as my point of reference for if the script is even trying to run. I've also looked for logs, but luck there either.
Very Strange, have you tried choosing a trigger (I know it's not needed with Self Service) or recreating it from scratch, I have had multiple policies fail on me (no indication of running) and had to recreate them for some reason, or is there anything that might prevent this from running on the machine, like another policy?
I finally broke down and hit up Jamf support. Looks like something just happened to be broken on the couple machines that I was testing on, regarding the device certificate for Jamf. I renewed it through terminal and archived the old one. That seemed to do the trick. It was weird because all of the other functions of Jamf were working through self service. App installation, etc. and the device was sending inventory and check-ins to our Jamf Pro server, but JUST scripts were broken. We're good now and the script works perfectly as written, so thank you for sharing it!
Thanks for this script @Geissbuhler . We ran into an issue where Chrome wouldn't autoupdate on our MacBooks. We don't give the staff local admin so they weren't able to do the reinstall that the Macs were requiring them to do. Set the script up in Self Service and it runs flawlessly for this.
