Did you already install Grapejuice on your Chromebook before?

If so, I recommend just nuking your Linux install and starting from scratch.


Please follow the steps below exactly. 

  1. Open the Linux Terminal app.
    1. If you cannot find the app, please ensure Linux subsystem is installed on your Chromebook. You can install it through Settings > Menu > Linux (Beta) >  Install
  2. Download Wine. Wine is a compatibility layer (NOT emulator) for Windows software on Linux devices. Run the following commands:
    1. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
    2. wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

    3. sudo apt-key add winehq.key

    4. sudo echo "deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ stretch main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine.list
    5. sudo apt update
    6. sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

  3. Download Python. Python is needed to run Grapejuice.

    1. wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.6/Python-3.7.6.tgz
    2. tar xvf Python-3.7.6.tgz
    3. cd Python-3.7.6
    4. ./configure && make && sudo make install

  4. Install Grapejuice:

    1. sudo apt install python3-pip virtualenv libcairo2-dev libgirepository1.0-dev libgtk-3-0 libgtk-3-bin libdbus-1-dev
    2. cd ..
    3. wget https://gitlab.com/brinkervii/grapejuice/-/archive/master/grapejuice-master.zip
    4. unzip grapejuice-master.zip
    5. cd grapejuice-master
    6. python3.7 ./install.py

  5. Open Grapejuice through the app launcher, and go to Maintenance > Install Roblox. Then, you will be able to open Roblox Studio.
