Hi everybody.
I'm having problem with installing Flash Player from Software Center. Downloaded tar.gz file. Don't know what to do next. Can anyone help ?

Thanks everybody. :)

Summary

Here are two ways to install Flash Player from tar.gz file.

1. Manual

  • Extract tar.gz file.
  • Copy libflashplayer.so to appropriate Plugins folder. (ex: for Mr. Firefox :) plugins folder is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/)

2. Using Terminal (Recommended)

  • Open terminal (shortcut: Control+Alt+T)
  • Enter folder where the archive is (using cd(change dir) ).
  • Extract archive. Use tar xvf <archivename>.tar.gz.
  • Copy libflashplayer.so to appropriate Plugins folder. Use sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ , press enter , enter admin password. Ready!

P.S. If you are not able to copy libflashplayer.so using Manual method use Terminal method.
