You will need to download Adobe. Says I need an application, but I don't know how...?

When I try to download Adobe, it says I need an application... what should I do?

What version of Flash you downloaded for Linux? There are 4:

  • Flash Player for Ubuntu (apt) 11.2
  • Flash Player 11.2 for another Linux (.rpm)
  • Flash Player 11.2 for another Linux (. tar.gz)
  • Flash Player 11.2 for other Linux (YUM)

You can APT one as this one requires less work. When he says opened with: you select Ubuntu Software Center

Another more difficult (easier for me) is to install Flash Player in the Terminal. A few simple lines and you'll be good.

  • Open your Terminal. A few ways to do this depending on your version of Linux

    • Simultaneously press the CTRL key, the ALT key and the T key
    • Go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal (this has been replaced by Unity in Ubuntu 11.04)
    • In the unit you can support on Ubuntu icon in the upper left corner and typeTerminal

When you are in the Terminal, please copy/paste the following commands in the Terminal (for text here, right click > Copy; when you're in the press Terminal CTRL + SHIFT + V to paste, or right-click > paste)

  • sudo apt - get install package flashplugin - install

The Terminal will ask you your login password. (When you type your password, it will not appear, but it is.)

  • Press on Y and ENTER, once he asks you if you want to install it. Should take a few minutes to do. Once this is done, restart Firefox.
