how to install flash

Choice 1: Install  Flash from Repository:

This is fairly simple and easy and should work from most people out there:

In the terminal:

apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

and then type in:

update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

That’s it. You flash should be working as expected. Go to testing section at the bottom on this post to confirm installation.

Choice 2: Install Flash Manually

In case you tried Choice 1 and failed, try this steps below to install and activate Flash manually.

Step 2.a: Download the latest Flash Player archive

Launch your browser (I assume IceWeasel?) and download the Flash Player in a separate folder.

At the time of writing this guide the available version was install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz

Download and save the file in /root directory.

Users should take note that the version used in this guide is x64 which is 64-bit. 32-bit users should choose their versions accordingly.

Download link = http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
(Note: Choose Version to download tar.gz for other Linux)

Step 2.b: Untar archive and install

Follow the instructions below:

cd Downloads/
tar xzvf install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
