Just wondering if anyone has tried to get wfpiconsole installed on a chromebook?

Got it working… 😁

yes… however it choked.

I needed to install “sudo apt-get install whiptail”

after that, it worked PERFECTLY…

I did have to install Python3 first using these commands.

```
Commands Used:

```

1. sudo apt update
2. sudo apt dist-upgrade -y
3. sudo apt install python3 python3-pip build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev -y
4. python3 --version
