How to *run* pkhex on a chromebook?

[Tsumeee]

So after literally a day of work, I managed to gather everything I thought I needed to run PKHex on my Chromebook (.net framework and net 5.0, visual studio, the unzipped files, and also my Debian terminal because I can't seem to get Wine) but I can't figure out how to get it to run so I can use it. I've never done this type of thing before so I have been heavily relying on tutorials to get my way around. I tried looking for a video or thread showing how to run it but I haven't had luck with ones that work. I've also seen people say to open the file from your computer, but when I do that it takes me to visual studio and shows me the code and texts. Clearly i'm doing something wrong but i'm not sure of what. If you can help, thank you! If not, that's okay as well

Any luck? I would love to know as my save on pokemon yellow messed up half way through and lost 5 full boxes of pokemon, some even that i cant recatch

I think sadly pkhex doesn't cannot run natively on Linux due to it using the windows forms api which to my knowledge has not been made cross-platform. You will probably need to resort to Wine or a VM. If you wanted to try native, I had this idea:

 

You could try installing dotnet:

apt-get update && apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-8.0 ca-certificates

And then try to compile it and see if you can get a linux executable

# Install pkhex dependencies
RUN dotnet restore pkhex

# Compile the app to test
RUN dotnet build --no-restore pkhex
