Install Adobe Flash Player on Debian
Step 1. The first command will update the package lists to ensure you get the latest version and dependencies.
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade
Step 2. Install Adobe Flash Player.
Adobe Flash Player repository is not available in Debian core repositories so we need to add the canonical partner repository in Debian system:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
You can install as follows:
sudo apt install adobe-flashplugin browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash
Step 3. Install Adobe Flash Plugin.
As the flash plugin is available in the default repository of Debian you can install as follows:
apt install flashplugin-installer
You can check to make sure that you installed Flash correctly, by visiting Adobe’s Flash help page and clicking the “Check Now” button.
