eric6 on Chromebook

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello,

this is to let you know, that eric6 is usable on Chromebook with the 
Linux environment. In order to get it up you may follow the steps 
outlined below. The assumption is, that the "Linux (beta)" environment 
of ChromeOS is already active. In the Linux shell window entere these 
commands.

1. Install pre-requisites
=========================
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-venv libnss3

2. Create Python virtual environment
====================================
cd ~
python3 -m venv eric_env
~/eric_env/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
~/eric_env/bin/python3 -m pip install "PyQt5<5.15.2" "PyQtChart<5.15.2" 
"PyQtWebEngine<5.15.2" QScintilla
optional: ~/eric_env/bin/python3 -m pip install "qt5-applications<5.15.2"
~/eric_env/bin/python3 -m pip install eric-ide
~/eric_env/bin/eric6_post_install

I hope this information is useful.

Regards,
Detlev
