Finally, a 64-bit flash player plugin from Adobe

…that’s simple to install too…

* Download the plugin here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

Please note that if you install the Flash Player “Square” preview, you will need to keep this version up to date by manually installing updates from the Flash Player “Square” download page on Adobe Labs. You will not receive automatic update notifications for future final releases of Flash Player, and you will need to manually uninstall Flash Player “Square” before installing a final shipping version of Flash Player.

Yeah yeah, blah blah, install the plugin and you’re all set…

Go to your browser’s plugin directory, delete the libflashplayer.so or the link to it, then copy in the libflashplayer.so from the tarball you just downloaded. On most linux systems, this should be:

/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

If you’re using Google Chrome, Opera, or Firefox, you can just copy libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins. Restart your browser and go to about:plugins. You’ll see flash enabled. I just tested this on the latest unstable version of Chrome and it worked right out of the box.

If you’re using some sort of oddball browser that doesn’t look there for plugins, add it to your list or find your plugin path and link it there.
