I am trying to run steam on myCchromebook, but I am having some difficulties with the process. I have successfully downloaded Steam with the Linux installer but when: Try to run it, it says the following:

“You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libc.so.6”

How do I download libc.so.6 and install it? Could anyone please help me with my situation. What should I do with the following message and what do I do to make everything work.

According to the advice provided on Ask Ubuntu as well as Lifewire you need to first run this command:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Then this command:

sudo apt update

And finally this command:

sudo apt install libgl1:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers

It seems like you could have avoided this issue if you installed Steam via the package installer like this. But do not do that unless you completely uninstall the Steam binaries you installed via the Linux installer:

sudo apt install steam

Honestly that might be the better long term way to get Steam properly set on your Chromebook, but your choice if you want to undo your initial package install of Steam.
