There are a bunch of people having trouble using the downloadable OldCP client. This post will have instructions for both Mac and Windows users. MacOS instructions provided by @Sleddy and @Jonathan1tt1
Mac OS:
Go to where you downloaded it and do control-click, and click open. Then hit allow or whatever when the pop-up box comes up. It should let you open it after that.
If it doesn't let you open OldCP, go to Security and Privacy in System Preferences and there should be an option at the bottom that asks if you're sure you want to open it.
Windows:
Open the folder where you downloaded the .zip file. Extract the files in the archive by right-clicking and selecting "Extract All...", and choose a destination folder for the game files to live.
Once the files are extracted, just double-click OldCP.exe to run the game. You can create a desktop shortcut by right-clicking OldCP.exe and clicking Create Shortcut, where you can then place where ever.

Knowing how to unzip files is a skill you should all learn

Then use the Chromebook to buy a real computer

There should be a link you can use to play oldcp still, ask Sled for it
