/usr/local/chroots/xenial already has stuff in it!
Either delete it, specify a different name (-n), or specify -u to update it.```



I try to download crouton and that error message pops up

@Faliureatlife,

When you use the installation command without specifying a release it will default to 'xenial'.
That's why you're getting the message:

/usr/local/chroots/xenial already has stuff in it!
Either delete it, specify a different name (-n), or specify -u to update it.

So just follow those instructions or specify a different release.
Most likely, since you already have a chroot, you can just update using:

• sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -n xenial -u

If you want to add the 'xfce' target to your existing chroot just use:

• sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -n xenial -t xfce -u

Hope this helps,

It says:
sh: 0: Refusing to exec /home/chronos/user/Downloads/crouton from noexec mount; see https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/master/security/noexec_shell_scripts.md

What do I do?

@Blueman411 this is addressed in #4026 and this issue is very old, in the future please look for the most up to date documentation.
