Installing Flash Player 9 for Epiphany on Ubuntu Dapper Drake

21 January, 2007 in ubuntu

Flash 9 is out for Linux. There is an RPM that you can use to install on Ubuntu via alien, but here’s how I did it (I am on Ubuntu Dapper Drake (x86)).

You can download the Flash Player from here http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer/ or use wget like I do below.

cd
wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
tar zxf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
cd install_flash_player_9_linux
more Readme.txt
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/epiphany/2.14/plugins
epiphany http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/
cd
rm -Rf install_flash_player_9_linux

    Hey! Thankyou verymuch!
    Worked like a charm and I didin’t needed to run flash install script, just copy the lib. This way things keep cleaner.

    Thnak you!
