I have Git now and some other stuff, but I've looked around and all and I don't get very helpful information. I've used these instructions:
-
Download the latest version of Flash Player from the Adobe Website.
Click on Download the Latest Player and choose ".deb for Ubuntu" from the dropdown list. -
Choose "Save File" from the pop up window.
-
Open a terminal window.
The terminal window will be found under Applications -> Utilities. -
Change to the directory where your downloaded file was saved.
cd Downloads
-
Install the libcurl3 library.
sudo apt-get install libcurl3 -
Install the Flash Player.
sudo dpkg --install install_flash_player_<version>_linux.deb
Replace with the latest version number. -
Restart Firefox.
-
Check that Flash Player was installed.
Typeabout:plugins
in a browser window, and look for the Flash Player MIME type.
