How to install Flash in linux?

To fix this issue, you need to upgrade/install certain libraries using yum. I have mentioned the commands below.

1. First you need to install those libraries (.i386 and .x86_64):

yum install curl compat-libstdc++-33 glibc nspluginwrapper

yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper curl

2. Once done with the libraries, we need to download the flash player rpm.

mkdir flash

cd flash

download the rpm inside the folder flash.

3. Next we need to execute the command below to install the rpm. This command should be executed inside the folder, where the rpm is downloaded. Ours is in the folder ‘flash’.

rpm -ivh flash-plugin-10.0.12.36-release.i386.rpm

4. Close the Firefox and restart it. You should be able to see the flashes hereafter.

1.Open a Terminal window (in Gnome, click on the Applications menu, select Accessories, and then select Terminal.)

2.In the Terminal window, change to the directory where you saved the file you downloaded (e.g. cd /home/user/Downloads).

3.Extract libflashplayer.so from the file you downloaded with the command

# tar -zxvf install_flash_player_"version"_linux."processor".tar.gz.

4.As the super user, copy the extracted file, libflashplayer.so, to your Firefox installation directory's plugins sub-directory.

For example,

if Firefox is installed in /usr/lib/mozilla,

use the command

$ sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and

then enter your super user password when prompted.
