Installing Flash Player in Fedora Machine

Usualy we cannot open web pages containng Flash images in Fedora linux because flash player in not installed by default. And as we try to install missing plug-in we get error. so here is procedure to install flash player.



First of all download rpm  or tar format flash plugin form adobe website. In my case i downloaded .rpm format to my /tmp directory . now open terminal and change your working directory to /tmp
and type following

[root@linux1 tmp]# rpm -ivh flash-plugin-10.1.53.64-release.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:flash-plugin           ########################################### [100%]

The .rpm file also copies the adobe General Public Key (GPG key) to /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux but does not import it. To import the key, type:

[root@linux1 tmp]# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux

Now install plug-in with yum command

[root@linux1 tmp]# 
yum install flash-plugin alsa-plugins-pulseaudio \
    libcurl'

and finaly

[root@linux1 tmp]# yum install nspluginwrapper 

Now you can open any web contain flash.
