How to Install Flash on Ubuntu Linux, the easy way!

Step 3 Installing it

actually some of the online tutorials and that I have read make this bit seem really complicated, there is a way to do this using the sudo (super user do) command, but that is quite complex for first time users also if you follow this method rather than the sudo method (which is harder) you will have to do this for every user on you computer (i think.)

anyway, go to the desktop, you will see a folder called the same thing as the tar.gz file you downloaded (something like install_flash_9_linux)

open that folder, you will see that there are two icons in that, click on the FlashPlayer-Installer Icon

now you should get a message, choose "run in terminal" now here is the first time that you are actually going to have to use a command line, and it is really easy!

make sure you read all the instructions as they come up, make sure you have no browsers running, that means Firefox Sea monkey etc.

when you see the "install action summary" press Y (yes) and enter, if you press Q it will give you a load of info about it (boring) or N will not install it (it means no).

let it do its thang, and when it is finished, close it and start firefox, go to youtube and viola
