Adobe flashplayer installation

Mon Dec 29, 2014 3:37 pm

I find Adobe's installation instruction difficult to decipher. What does "unpack plugin tar.gz and copy files to the aroygtppropriate location" mean? The rest is also confusing. A clearer instruction would be welcome if someone could oblige. :?:
Thanks,

You cannot install flash player. This has been talked about countless times. The packages that adobe provides are for debian x86 systems and will not work on ARMv6. If you want to watch youtube, use the new epiphany web browser. It is not a desktop replacement, but a learning tool. Most learning tools don't involve flash based games. ;)
There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.

Adobe Flash Player = never will be supported

HTML5 = supported http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5

Therefore if you want to watch videos in Raspbian Wheezy then use kweb browser http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 66&t=40860

If you want to play Candy Crush or similar buy an Android Device
