Would there happen to be a way to install Scrivener on an Acer Chromebook Laptop Tablet? I’m using version 3 in trial form for nano currently. I’m really liking it. I would love to have a copy on my tablet laptop. If it is possible? I have linux currently enabled on the chromebook.
Check the linux board. The answer should be yes, under Wine.
As long as the Chromebook is Intel/AMD x86/x64 based, not ARM or Atom. Since WINE is not a processor emulator, the executables you intend to run need match the processor architecture you are running WINE on (WINE is a glorified library linker.)

You can try Crossover for Chrome. It is a commercial product by the folks who created WINE. (There are also versions for MAC and Linux.) It will allow you to run Windows programs on Chrome OS.
There’s a trial period, just like for Scrivener, so you can see if it will run before purchasing.
Your suggest I tried it will not install on my tablet.
