I have downloaded the zip file and tried to open the .sh extension, which I believe should enable me to view agreements and then start using the program. However; I just have script when I open this file, no other options are available to me. As you can see I am not a computer geek, can someone please help?

    Hi,

    Chromebooks are not officially supported.

    Since you described yourself as "not a computer geek" i would strongly advise against trying to do this.

    RapidMiner Studio is a Java Application, Version 9 requires Java 8 and Version 10 Java 11.

    I won't link any guides here on installing java applications on a Chromebook and i also don't have a Chromebook at hand to be able to offer any kind of support.

    Greetings,
    Jonas

    Thanks Jonas. I have just read and watched so many 'how to' guides, and I don't trust them so I haven't gone forward. The next step for me is a PC x64, I will come back to it then. Thank you so much for jumping in with some advice Jonas, much appreciated. You will see me back when I have the right unit!! Cheers, Anthony

    Hi Ant,

    a new question is always the preferred way.

    Hey Jonas,

    How are you my friend? Hope you are ok.

    So you said I could come back to you with anything else related to this message, would this be ok? I am just asking before I post out to the community, hope you don't mind.

    Thanks, Ant

    Thanks Jonas. I have just posed a new enquiry - if you see it and have any thoughts, I would really appreciate hearing them. Cheers, Ant
