The truth is that not every Chromebook comes with Google Play Store and not all of them support Android applications. So if you own a Chromebook like that, just:

  • Access your Chrome browser and head to Settings.
  • Tap the hamburger icon (3 horizontal lines) way up at the left of the display.
  • Choose “About Chrome OS.”
  • Tap “Check for Updates.”
  • If you are not up to date, the download will start automatically.

After that, you will need to install ARC Welder, an Android development application. It was made for developers, but it also helps with Kodi on Chromebook laptops.

  • Head to the Chrome Web Store to download ARC Welder.
  • Make use of the Chrome launcher to install the application.

Since you cannot use the Play Store, you will have to find an.APK file of Kodi. This is where you have to be cautious since various 3rd-party sources are not dependable places to download files. Not to worry though, because APKMirror is reliable and will help you to download Kodi safely. APKPure is another decent option if you do not fancy APKMirror.

  • Launch ARC.
  • Tap on the plus sign (+) in an orange circle. It will read “Add your APK.”
  • In the list, choose the APK you downloaded.
  • Tap “Open” at the bottom right.
  • As soon as that is done, you will have access to some options for how to run Kodi. Choose landscape orientation and ensure your form factor is set to “Tablet.”
  • Tap “Test.”

That is that.
