Installing Adobe Air

  1. Install i386 libraries, that are required for successful installation and running of Adobe Air and air applications:
    sudo apt-get install libxt6:i386 libnspr4-0d:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libnss3-1d:i386 lib32nss-mdns libxml2:i386 libxslt1.1:i386 libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 gtk2-engines-murrine:i386

  2. Install libgnome-keyring0:i386:
    sudo apt-get install libgnome-keyring0:i386
    If installation was successful, proceed to step 3.
    Sometimes, it can’t be installed using apt-get, causing error with dependencies. So we’ll need to download it and install manually. In fact, this is easy.
    download deb-package using apt-get to /tmp:
    cd /tmp
sudo apt-get download libgnome-keyring0:i386
    extract deb-package into gnome-keyring subfolder (note version in the file name, it may be different):
    sudo dpkg-deb -R libgnome-keyring0_3.8.0-2_i386.deb gnome-keyring
    install library in the system by copying:
    sudo cp gnome-keyring/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0
  3. Create symlinks to gnome-keyring so Adobe Air could see it:
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
  4. Download Adobe Air installer from Adobe official site: http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html
  5. Install Adobe Air using downloaded installer (don’t forget to allow execution of the installer file):
    chmod a+x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
    Adobe Air should be installed successfully now! Now you may remove excess symlinks:
    sudo rm /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0

sudo rm /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
