Hello Fedora Geeks.
In this article I will show you how to install Adobe Reader and Flash Player Plugin on Fedora 18 and Fedora 17.
So, let’s start the installation guide. Follow these steps for a successfull installation:
How to install Flash Player Plugin:
Step 1. Add the Adobe Repo:
for 32 bit systems:
$ rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
for 64 bit systems:
$ rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
Step 2. Import the key:
$ sudo rpm –import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
Step 3. Update the repo index:
$ sudo yum update
Install the package:
$ sudo yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper
How to install Adobe Reader:
Add the repo:
$ sudo rpm -Uvh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
Update the repo index:
$ sudo yum update
Install Adobe Reader:
$ sudo yum -y install AdobeReader_enu
There’s a typo in the “add key” section.
It should say:
sudo rpm –import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
instead of:
sudo rpm –import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
Nevertheless, thanks for the article!
Was there supposed to be a difference in what you typed?
“””
It should say:
sudo rpm –import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
instead of:
sudo rpm –import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
“””
Your “instead of:” text is identical to your “It should say:” text… unless it was edited post factum.
Caution. The EM dash displayed by the website/browser looks like a single hyphen to the quick reader. It is actually TWO hyphens.
