Installing native 64bit Flash Player on Linux

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Find below bash script for openSuSE 11.0 and 11.1 that will install 64bit Flash Player :

#!/bin/bash

echo “Stopping Firefox”
sudo killall -9 firefox

echo “Removing previous installations of flash plugin :”

sudo rm -f /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
sudo rm -rfd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper

echo “Installing Flash Player 10”
wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.42.34.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
tar zxvf libflashplayer-10.0.42.34.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so

# some cleaning up

sudo rm -rf libflashplayer-10.0.42.34.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
sudo rm -rf libflashplayer.so

You need to chmod +x then execute it. Remember to enable flash pluging in Firefox then restarting.
