The script takes care of downloading Chrome OS and overwriting your VM with it.

Now we're ready to download Chrome OS and overwrite Chromium OS.

Since we're running on a VM, there's really no such thing as a developer switch like there is on a real Chrome OS device but Chrome OS assumes it's not in developer mode so it does the wipe for us. This tells Chrome OS that the system has been in developer mode and should be wiped when it next boots up. Sudo touch /mnt/stateful_partition/.developer_mode(password is chronos again) We'll want Chrome OS to start with a fresh stateful partition as soon as we first boot it so run:

This switches us to the virtual console on Chromium OS (the spacebar is needed to make sure the VMWare guest and not the host OS pick up the CTRL+ALT key combo). Release the spacebar but hold CTRL+ALT down and press F2.

Your VM should have Ethernet setup so the image automatically has Internet connectivity, no need to run through setup since we'll be blowing things away shortly. Windows users may need to download 7-Zip to decompress. We'll use it as the base image, overwriting the Chromium OS filesystem and kernel with Chrome OS. It's an unofficial, 200mb Chromium OS image. I'm not responsible if Chrome or Chromium OS breaks your physical or virtual machine, destroys your data or re-elects Obama. Here are the instructions:ĭisclaimer: None of this is official or supported.

So with a little scripting, I've managed to get Chrome OS running on VMWare workstation (should work on VMWare Player and Fusion also though I haven't tested).

Chrome OS when presenting to clients, I wanted them to see exactly what they'd see on a Chromebook. Even before Chromebook hardware was available, Chromium OS, the open source base for Chrome OS has been able to run on virtual machines (see Hexxeh's nice nightly builds) but I didn't want to deal with the rabbit trail of Chromium OS vs. So I set out to find a way to run Chrome OS (the official code) on a virtual machine. Google+ Hangouts do work on Chrome OS but you have to have a user logged into the Chromebook, no demoing the login screen or enrollment process. However, since Chromebooks aren't compatible with common screen-sharing applications like or WebEx, it's not possible. As part of my job, I often want to be able to demo Chrome OS to clients so that they can see how simple it is or to show them a concept such as enterprise enrollment.
