|
| |
+ == What is Flash?
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Flash is a web browser plugin for multimedia use.
|
| |
+ Because it is not free/libre and open source software, Adobe's Flash plugin cannot be included in Fedora.
|
| |
+ However, Adobe does release a version of the Flash plugin for Fedora, and other Linux distributions, for Firefox, Chromium, and other popular Internet browsers.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ The use of Flash is not as wide-spread as it use to be as many sites like Youtube use HTML5 for video playback.
|
| |
+ Many modern browsers like Firefox and Chromium can play these files without the need for a Flash plugin.
|
| |
+ Google Chrome's web browser comes with Flash installed by default.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ == How do I install Adobe Flash?
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Before downloading Flash, you will need to know whether you are using Fedora 32-bit, or 64-bit.
|
| |
+ Open the terminal and enter:
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ [source,bash]
