I have downloaded Anki desktop - Linux and followed the instructions, but it won’t run. I have even tried to install additional libraries, but still not working. Please help!

It seems to not work on Chromebook, including with things like flatpak.

Of course, if you’d provide more info we could possibly help you better; but from past experiences of other users I recommend you install AnkiDroid instead.
