Unable to locate package / apt-get command not found
Noob here, I've been researching on how to fix these problems for days now and I can't find exactly what I need to know, I need a walkthrough.
I'm trying to install Steam and here's what I get:
E: unable to locate package libgl1-mesa-dri:i386
E: Unable to locate package libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
E: Unable to locate package libc6:i386
Press return to continue:
After that, this pops up:`
You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libc.so.6
So after doing lots of research I found I needed to download these packages or something, so i tried to, sudo apt-get , I got back that sudo apt-get command not found. So I've been researching and researching and I jut can't figure out what exactly I should do. Some people have gone into some details about different things to do but I'm completely lost.
If there's any information I should provide, let me know, I'm on chromebook running crouton, xfce4.

Which version of Ubuntu do you use? I know that 16.04 LTS (xenial xerus) have libgl1-mesa-dri:i386, libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 and libc6:i386 in main repository (enabled by default). Sosudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libc6:i386will be enough here.

Which isn't found, apt-get or sudo?
If apt-get doesn't work (For whatever reason), you could try sudo apt in place of sudo apt-get instead.
For installing the 32 bit libraries for Steam, try doing
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
in the terminal to add support for the :i386 packages first then running
sudo apt-get update
OR
sudo apt update
to update the lists of installable packages. Now, try installing Steam again.
