You need to change your chromebook to Developer Mode for the command to work. The procedure is device dependant.

A simple google search like "chromebook model developer mode" will give you results. Follow the procedure and the shell command will work as intented after that.

@LiamPlayz,

Even though you think you are still in Developer mode it sounds like you may not be any longer.
Do you get something similar to the following and have to press ctrl+D to boot into the login screen -

If not, then take a look at these links for more info. -

• Developer Information for Chrome OS Devices - click on the Model name of your device
• Poking around your Chrome OS Device

Hope this helps,
-DennisL
