Install the Adobe Flash Player Plug-in for Firefox in Linux

Today, I want to go online to watch a movie in linux. I opened the browser and prompted that the flash player Plug-in was not installed. I clicked automatic installation, but the system prompts that the latest version of the plug-in is not supported, my system uses RHEL 5.5. No way. Download a software package from google.

Install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz. The installation method is as follows:

Decompress the package:

[Root @ test/] # tar zxvf install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz/tmp/flashplayer

[Root @ test/] # ls/tmp/flashplayerlinux

Usr libflashplayer. so

We can see that the extracted items have a usr folder and a library file. The library file must be placed in the path where the Firefox browser installs the plug-in. But I didn't know the path at the time. Search:

[Root @ test/] # find/usr/-name firefox

/Usr/lib/firefox-3.0.18/firefox

Switch to this path and you will see that firefox is a file, not a directory, and the plugin path is not found. Continue to search for another keyword mozilla:

[Root @ test/] # find/usr-name mozilla

/Usr/lib/mozilla

/Usr/share/mozilla

Check the search result and switch to/usr/lib/mozilla/. It is here.

[Root @ test/] # cd/usr/lib/mozilla/

[Root @ test/] # ls

Extensions plugins-wrapped

[Root @ test/] #

Now you can perform the following operations:

[Root @ test/] # cp/tmp/flashplayer/libflashplayer. so/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/-rf

[Root @ test/] # chmod 755/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer. so

[Root @ test/] # cp/tmp/flashplayer/usr/*/usr/-rf

I am a little lazy and assigned 755 permissions to libflashplayer. so.

Now the installation is complete, and then restart Mozilla firefox !!
