"Now that you can run Android apps on Chrome OS, the likes of WPS Office can be added to the Chrome OS arsenal of productivity apps.
Installation
The first thing you must do is install WPS Office--this can only be done on a Chromebook that supports the installation of Android apps.

You will also need to have the Google Play Store enabled on your device (read my article, "How to install Android apps on your supported Chromebook"). Now all you have to do is follow these steps.
Click the Chrome OS menu.
Locate and click the Play Store (beta) icon.
Search for WPS Office.
Locate and click the entry by Kingsoft Office Software.
Click INSTALL.
Allow the installation to complete.
You should see an entry for WPS Office in your Chrome OS menu. Click to open the app."
