Installing flash player on Kali-Linux
Hi,
When I was opend Youtube it was asked me to install flash player. I downloaded it but i am unable to install it. Almost I searched for one hour. Finally I got it. Follow the bellow steps.
1. Download flash player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
2. Select version to download: .tar.gz for other Linux
3. Click download and save it in root folder.
4. Now unzip it by typing tar xzvf install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz
Thats it.
This different method worked for me and was super simple
I am new to Linux pretty much and this is how I installed flash to my Kali Linux.
Well, this is how I installed Adobe. Open a terminal and type the following:
Code:
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
Let it do its thing, then type in terminal:
Code:
update-flashplugin-nonfree --install
That's it! This method worked excellent for me but if I am misinforming someone please let me know asap. Not sure if this method I have given is avoided for some reason but I am not having any issues and can watch videos on YT and anywhere else on the interwebz. I am using IceWeasel Firefox browser.
Would appreciate an explanation.

What exactly does the command do? And if not followed, what do we stand to lose?
Would appreciate your explanation on this so it can better be understood.
Thanks
