How do I install the Flash plugin on Windows?

To install the Flash plugin for use with Windows, click here and follow the instructions. If necessary, ask your IT to help you install this plugin.

Note that the Flash Player has separate installers for Firefox and Internet Explorer. Installing the Flash Player on Firefox does not install it on IE and vice versa.

How do I install the Flash plugin on Linux RHEL x86_64?

Adobe does not deliver official releases of flash x86_64. We recommend that you install flash x86 with nspluginwrapper.

To install flash x86 on RHEL x86_64 for use with firefox x86_64, do the following:

Download Flash Player for linux (tar.gz) and extract the library libflashplayer.so.
As root, copy the library to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and add the execute rights to the file.
su-

cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

cp <download_path>/libflashplayer.so .

chmod +x libflashplayer.so
With some system configuration files, you may need to create a link from your user home directory to the flash library.
cd ~/.mozilla/plugins

ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

The following configuration was tested and validated:

Linux Kernel 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5
Firefox 3.6.17 (x86_64)
Flash Player 10.3 r181
nspluginwrapper 1.3.0

Ask your IT to help you install this plugin.
