Does anyone know how to mod on a chromebook? I've tried downloading SMAPI through Linux but doesn't work. Would be much appreciated!

I JUST figured this out today!!
I used the android version of stardew.
What I did was dev mode through Linux.
After adb is selected and your Chromebook is restarted there should be a little red warning that says your Chromebook may have unauthorized apps downloaded, that means we're on the right track!!!
Now, make sure you have the lastest android smapi LAUNCHER and copy that zip file into your new Linux apps file folder (should be in your files app).
Also download the latest Android smapi ( the stardew valley wiki for Android modding has the files I'm using for this)
Ok to open the launcher apk to run and install the smapi file you'll need to open your terminal app on your Chromebook. After opening the app you should see a few options, tap or click penguin. In that terminal that you just opened type in the command:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-abd
Hit enter.
It will ask a yes or no question or two, type y for yes and hit enter.
Then type the command:
adb install [file path]
I don't know what your file path will be but it shouldn't be hard to find if you copied the smapi launcher to the Linux file folder.
Mine looked like:
adb install SMAPI.Launcher.v.1.1.4.apk
After that it should be installed and an app icon should be automatically created for it. Open the app, install smapi form zip, select the smapi zip download from the wiki earlier (not the launcher). And then it should work. Or at least that's what worked for me.
