Kali Linux comes with Iceweasel (Firefox) as an installed browser. For some reason, the producers of Kali Linux missed one thing, the vital Adobe Flash Player plugin.

This simple tutorial will show you how to get Adobe Flash Player in Kali Linux’s Iceweasel. There are two different methods to do this. Try method #1 first, as it is very easy. If, for some reason, that method doesn’t work, then move on to method #2.

Method #1: Automatic Install

Open a Terminal in Kali Linux and type this command:

apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

When it finishes installing and you are presented with the root@kali prefix again, type this command and press Enter:

update-flashplugin-nonfree –install

You can go here in Iceweasel to test Flash Player. If you see the little animation, then you’re good to go!

If you don’t see the flash animation, then continue on to Method #2.

Method #2: Manual Install

Step One:
Start Kali, login to root, open Iceweasel, and go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
Step Two*:
When Adobe.com opens, it should already have detected what version you need (Mine is Linux 64-bit Firefox). So all you need to do is click on the drop down menu that says Select version to download… and select .tar.gz for other Linux from the list.
Now hit the download button
*Note, Adobe is constantly changing their website, I’ll do my best to keep up with these changes, but your experience may still be a little different than my pictures.
Thank you for understanding!
Step Three:
The download window will now open, and Iceweasel will ask you want you want it to do with the file, select Save file… and hit OK.

If Firefox asks you where to save the file too, select the root folder and hit OK.
When it has finished downloading, close Iceweasel.
Step Four:
Open a Terminal, type ls and hit Enter. Kali will then display all the folders/files in your root folder, the adobe flash player .tar.gz folder should be among them.
Step Five:
Now that we know the name of the Adobe Flash Player folder, we need to unzip it. Start by copying the name of the Adobe Flash Player folder.
Now type tar –xf and paste the name of the Adobe Flash Player folder. See example below:

Example: tar –xf install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz

The name of your Adobe Flash Player folder might be different then mine, so don’t try to copy mine!
The complete command should look similar to this photo:
Hit Enter
Step Six:
Kali should take a couple of seconds to unzip the folder. After it’s complete type this command: mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ and hit Enter.

Kali Linux will do the rest, Adobe Flash Player has now been installed! To test your Flash installation, go to this URL in Iceweasel: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/, if you see the little flash animation, then you are done! You can also delete all the Flash Player folders/files in your root folder, they’re not important.

Thank you for using our tutorial,
Enjoy Kali Linux!

This tutorial is also relevant for newer versions of Linux and Flash Player too!

If you are a Windows user considering moving over to the Linux world, one of the more critical issues pressing you is the question of Flash playback - will you be able to enjoy flash movies and games in Linux? The simple answer is: yes! You will be able to do the same things you're used to in Windows, be it watching flash movies and animation or playing simple web-based flash games.

I'm going to show you how terribly simple the whole thing is - as easy as spreading butter on some French toast. I'll demonstrate this using Ubuntu Linux, an extremely popular and friendly distro, and Firefox, probably the best browser overall. Moreover, I'll show you three different ways of doing it, starting with the simplest.

Install Flash through Firefox

Missing plugin message

When you enter a website containing Flash content, you should get sort of a warning from your browser, identical to the one you'll see when browsing in Windows, with Firefox or other browsers. Here, we get this message while trying to watch a music clip on Youtube:

All you need to do is click on Install Missing Plugins... to obtain Flash.

Choose and confirm installation

You will have the choice between Adobe Flash Player, the de facto Flash plugin, and possibly one or more alternatives. For example, when installing Flash in Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, the other options is Gnash SWF Player, an open-source Flash movie player. The choice is up to you, but the simplest and most transparent choice for the majority of user would be to install Adobe Flash Player.

After that, you'll have to confirm your choice. The Flash Player 9 package is called called flashplugin-nonfree.

Installation complete

After a few moments, the installation will be completed. You will have to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.

Test installation

Naturally, you should test the installation. Not surprisingly, the choice of the music clip on Youtube is coincidentally the finest piece of music ever written - Jan Hammer's soul-healing Crockett's Theme from the fabulous Miami Vice series. Ah, the 80s ...

Install Flash using Debian (.deb) package (installer)

If, for some reason, your browser does not prompt you to install the missing plugins, you will have to manually download and install them. This can happen if a new version of the Flash Player has just been released - or if you're running a beta version of either your browser or the operating system. For example, Firefox in Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Beta does not prompt you for missing plugins.

The solution is to head to the (vendor's) website and download the package, in this case a Debian (.deb) installer. I'll demonstrate with Adobe Flash Player 10.

Download Debian (.deb) package

Run installer

Debian packages, for all practical purposes, are identical to Windows .exe files. Double-click, provide your password and follow on-screen instructions, if any. In this case, just wait for the installer to finish.

Test setup

Start Firefox and enjoy!

Install Flash using tar.gz archive

This may sound frightening, but it is quite simple, too. You will have to download a file, extract the archive and then run the installer. Extracting a tar.gz archive is identical to extracting a .zip or a .rar archive on Windows.

The next step differs from a typical Windows installation in that you will have to run the installer contained in the extracted archive by typing into the command line. Do not let this frighten you.

Download archive

Again, I'll demonstrate using the Adobe Flash Player. This time, instead of do
