Installing new applications on a Linux distribution is always a mystery for newbies so here is a guide that teaches you how to install Adobe AIR on Ubuntu.
- Open the Terminal
- Download the file from here using the wget command:
http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/1.5/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin - The name of the file is AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
- Save the file in the Home folder (Places > Home Folder)
- Run this command:
chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin - Now run this command:
sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
The normal installer will open, install it. From now whenever you download a .air file, just double click it and it will be installed.
