Installing Adobe Air 1.5 On Ubuntu Linux

Adobe Air 1.5 was officially released today for Linux. Here’s how to install it on Ubuntu Linux (or pretty much any Linux distro)

1. Download the AIR bin file here: http://get.adobe.com/air/
2. Put the file in your ‘Home Folder’
3. Open a terminal window
4. Run this: chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
5. Then this: sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

This should start the Adobe AIR installer. Go through the prompts and you’re done!

Note: If you have a previous version of AIR installed, you MUST remove it. I was able to search for ‘air’ and remove it through Synaptic on my machine. Also, I had to uninstall any AIR apps that I had installed as well.

Now it’s time for some apps!

• Twhirl – a Twitter client
• TweetDeck – another Twitter client
• Pandora Desktop – Also see Dorame
• Google Analytics – View Analytics from your desktop
• Feedalizr – Multi-support social media service
• Doomi – To Do List

There are a ton more apps out there, just search around and you’re sure to find something you like.
