How To Fedora: Install the Flash Plugin (32 and 64 bit)

To install the Flash plugin we do the following:

We log in as root (if we haven't already done so):

su -

We select the repository according to the architecture of your team:

Repository for 32-bit machines:

It is a single line and it goes all together:

rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

We add the repository key:

rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux

Repository for 64-bit machines:

It is a single line and it goes all together:

rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

We add the repository key:

rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux

Once this is done, we update our repositories:

yum check-update

We install the plugin and some dependencies:

yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper alsa-plugins-pulseaudio libcurl

Now we only have to restart our web browser and check that it is working correctly;).

    It is also included in fedora-utils (which is a post-installation wizard)

      Thanks for the information, these entries are designed more than anything for people who like to select what to install and what not to install on their computers. My intention has never been to make a mega post or something like that, it's more of a: take what you need and accommodate you : D.

      Cheers :).

        after adding the adobe repo the system tells me from terminal that
        There is no flash-plugin package available and I can get behind it.
        The solution to the second part I already know but and the other

    this is all too good ...

    But you also have to be clear that if you use Google Chrome on Linux, this already brings the flash by default

        it is just a browser not a religion ... nor a very linux xD

          That doesn't take away from the fact that I hated him, plus I'm an atheist.
          //
          In order not to distort so much, fedora has installed the firmware-linux non free by default? (I think that's what it's called)

            but what do you mean? the "linux-firmware" package that contains the firmware for wifi cards and so on?
            because if so, then if it brings it by default.

            Cheers(:

            If you mean drivers and codecs non-free, no, these come independent of the distribution. I already have a post about it;).

            @Diego Campos
            That's right, I just can't remember the correct name

            @Perseus
            Just that I was referring to, that you are already preparing an article about that.

            regards
