Adobe Flash Player 10.0 for 64-bit Linux

It so happened that users of almost all modern 64-bit Linux distributions have to use the emulation mode of the 32-bit environment, which pulls along a bunch of libraries that may not be needed in the system (well, except for wine). This small guide contains a simple set of instructions for replacing the existing flash player with a 64-bit version of Adobe Labs.



To begin with, we delete the existing version of Flash Player, which uses emulation of a 32-bit environment:

apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree



Download and install new:

wget download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

tar zxf libflashplayer*

mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins/

mv libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/



Enjoy watching flash movies.
