Manual installation
This procedure is not recommended.
Go to [http://www.adobe.com/].
- Click on the icon "Get Adobe Flash Player".
- Verify that the title of this page is "Adobe Flash Player Download Center Linux".
- Click on the icon "Download Now".
- Verify that the downloaded file is named "install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz", and save it in an empty directory, for example in a subdirectory named "unpack" in your home directory.
- Verify with "md5sum install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz" that current MD5 checksum is a835bc6613c76f62c74a50406bd5801d.
- Open the file with "tar xzf install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz".
- Open Readme.txt and follow the instructions at "To manually install the Plug-in Player for Linux".
- For example, the plugin directory for Firefox is "/usr/lib/firefox/plugins".
Automated installation for "stable/sarge"
This procedure is recommended.
Note flashplugin-nonfree version 7.0.25-5 is broken, and the newest flashplugin-nonfree in "testing" and "unstable" are not suitable for "stable". This is temporary solution:
- Run "apt-get install gsfonts-x11" as root.
Download [http://knars.be/bartm/debian/flashplugin-nonfree_7.0.63.7sarge1_i386.deb flashplugin-nonfree_7.0.63.7sarge1_i386.deb] but keep in mind that this package is not yet officially in the Debian repositories.
- Run "dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_7.0.63.7sarge1_i386.deb" as root.
Please confirm via e-mail to bartm@knars.be that this works, or report bugs in the BTS.
Automated installation for "testing/etch" and "unstable/sid"
This procedure is recommended.
- Run "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" as root.
