Hi,

I'm trying to install adobeairinstaller.bin. Currently, it is located on my desktop. I've tried the steps from the above steps but have had no success. When I entered the info I got:

justin@justin-laptop:~$ sudo ./adobeairinstaller.bin
sudo: ./adobeairinstaller.bin: command not found
justin@justin-laptop:~$ chmod 755 adobeairinstaller.bin
chmod: cannot access `adobeairinstaller.bin': No such file or directory

I'm still new to Ubuntu and Linux. Thanks.

Roficimo,

This question has been marked as solved. Please post your own question.

Your errors however are indicating the file does not exist. Verify you downloaded the adobe air package and confirm the name is correct. The steps you are following work fine, but it does appear the package name has changed.
