How to Install Adobe AIR in Linux (Ubuntu)

2. Now Right-Click the file and go to Properties, as shown in the screenshot below:
3. In the Properties window navigate to the ‘Permissions’ tab and check the ‘Allow executing file as program’ option.
4. After you have done is open the terminal and navigate to the folder that you saved the installer file, in this case it is Desktop. Now enter this command in the terminal:
sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

Shiva, Dude, or Dudette as the case may be, thank you so much for this tutorial. I’m fairly new to the Linux based OS, Ubuntu to be specific. I had this installer before I tried the new 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx and unfortunately it and Picasa were the 2 applications I forgot to back up. Now here I am rebuilding a 9.10 Karmic Koala system and this was the final missing piece. I got Picasa from one of my old threads on Ubuntu Forums. I will gladly welcome any recommendations you might have for good tutorials or books to help me learn Linux and command line language.
Thanks!
