Recently, I picked up a Dell Inspiron 3181 Chromebook with a Celeron processor and 4GB of ram.

With the recent addition of Linux to the ChromeBook I was intrigued and curious as to how a budget PC would work in the enterprise.

I didnt see much on Chromebooks and SAPGui other than a few articles on using the WebGui on the web.

However, there were a number of articles on SAPGui for Java on Linux.

Following a combination of search results on installing Java on Linux and SAPGui for Java, I got the Gui running on the ChromeBook and was able to execute some transactions in an ECC6 system.

Here is what I needed to do on the Chromebook to get there: Flipped the OS to the beta channel and Linux showed up (as of this post, the Dell is not one of the machines on the current list of ChromeBooks where Linux shows up on the stable channel).

After messing with the OpenJDK Java implementation (issues wih missing AWT libraries), Oracle 64 bit Java SDK for linux was downloaded onto the Chromebook.

From the Linux terminal, a directory called JAVA was created.

Next, JAVAHOME and PATH environmental variables were set following some Linux install directions on I found on Google.

Since the Chromebook was running a Debian derivative I used the Ubuntu variant of the Gui.

Sap 7.50 Gui Zip File Was Copied

The SAPGui zip file was copied to the Chromebook and unzipped.

Using Files, the unzipped files were copied to the Linux file system and dropped in the SAP directory.

Back in the terminal, following the SAP install instructions the Gui installation was launched and the directory SAPClients was created as part of the Gui install.

Next the logon parameters were configured and logon completed.

Caveats: All of this was installed in user space in the Linux container.

JAVAHOME and PATH were set using the user bash profile for persistence.
