Install Flash Player Square(beta) on Debian Lenny amd64

Adobe has announced Flash Player "Square", so as of Sep-2010 it is a fully working preview release.

Firstly, remove the old version,if any (could be 32 bit version):
apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree nspluginwrapper
(the same applies to the 32bit version from debian-multimedia)

Get the Flash Player "Square" binary from Adobe (look for the Download plug-in for 64-bit Linux (TAR.GZ) link. Then extract the tar ball:

tar xvzf flashplayer_square_p1_64bit_linux_091510.tar.gz

Logon as root to copy the extracted file to the mozilla plugins folder (this can work with Google Chrome also):

cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

  1. Thanks a lot for publishing this info. Before getting here, I saw lots of sites blablaing about paths that the AMD64 version does not have.
