I have set up Ubuntu 18.04 using crouton on my chromebook, I then set up Defold using the install manual on the site. When I ran Defold and started up the first tutorial, Side scroller tutorial, I believe that something when wrong with setting up the dmengine.
Here is the error message: /home/brody/.Defold/unpack/0bca0e3b159cb482c0956befa872c259ede800bd/x86_64-linux/bin/dmengine: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I will try to provide as much information as I can, but I’m very new to linux and programming in general.
Why doesn’t my Defold game start when I try to run it on Linux?
A: Check the console output in the editor. If you get the following message:
dmengine: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
then you need to install libopenal1 . The package name varies between distributions, and in some cases you might have to install the openal and openal-dev or openal-devel packages.

Any idea how I might accomplish that? Would I have to use the terminal to do that?
Probably:
apt-get install libopenal-dev
or if you don’t have the permission by using sudo
sudo apt-get install libopenal-dev
Yes
