How to Install Abobe AIR on Ubuntu Linux

Yesterday, I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Alpha 6, so that I could review some of the new features for this site. I just had to install Adobe AIR and thought I’d share with you how to do the same – Just in case you are unsure!

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Download the file from here, by browsing to it, or by using the wget command:
    http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/latest/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
  3. Save the file in the Home folder (Places > Home Folder)
  4. Run the following command, where AdobeAIRInstaller.bin is the file name:
    chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
  5. Finally, run this command:
    sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

The Adobe AIR installer will appear, when it does work through the options as normal. You can now install any .air file you download, just by clicking on them.
