 Hi, my name is Joyce Toe, and I'm a developer relations engineer for Chrome OS DevRel. Whether you're an Android or web developer, Linux on Chrome OS offers a safe and secure environment to run many popular code editors, IDs, and dev tools to build and test your app all on one device. To get started with developing on Chrome OS, the first tool you'll need is the terminal app. It's the main entry point into the Linux container. You can use it to interact with the development environment via command line tools, which will allow you to install other development tools you'll need. Because it is such a crucial tool in a developer's toolbox, the terminal was redesigned with the developer in mind. To create a polished experience, the terminal now has a brand new look and customizable features so you can personalize it how you want it. First, to get the terminal app, you'll need to set up Linux on Chrome OS. In the system settings, go to Linux beta and click turn on. Follow the setup prompts accordingly. Here you can choose your preferred username and disk size as well. The terminal app will then automatically be installed. We recommend pinning it to your shelf for easier access in the future. You'll also notice that when you start up the terminal app, the window immediately opens and displays the Linux container's start-up progress, letting you know it's working hard in the background. To access the terminal settings, right-click on the terminal icon and select settings. The first section you'll see is appearance. Choose from a range of preset themes or edit the background, text, and cursor as you please. As you make changes, you'll see them reflected in real time. If you don't like your changes, you can always revert back to the original settings by resetting the theme. In the keyboard and mouse section, you'll be able to toggle a list of useful shortcuts like control T for a new tab or control C for copy. Here you'll also find additional mouse and copy-paste behaviors. The last section is behavior, where you can enable or disable some additional functionalities, such as showing terminal dimensions when resizing the window. A useful tip is to hover your mouse cursor over any setting to see a more detailed explanation of what it will do. As a developer, you're probably multitasking on different projects. To help you stay organized, you can easily create new tabs by clicking the plus sign or the keyboard shortcut control T if you have it enabled. Similarly, you can create a new window from the right-click terminal menu or the keyboard shortcut control N if you have it enabled. You can also rearrange tabs between windows by seamlessly dragging and dropping them. If you're ready to start developing on Chrome OS, set up Linux on Chrome OS to get the terminal app and start customizing to make it your own.
