Adobe no longer provide updates for their installer for the AIR runtime used by the installer, so clicking the installer badge may give an error, or the package it sends you will fail to correctly install. Workarounds to install the AIR runtime are listed here.

Ubuntu and other .deb based system (such as Debian)

For 32bit systemsystems

Panel

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0

For 64bit system:systems

Panel

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0

Then for either system:
download the Adobe AIR installer by running the following command:

Panel

wget http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/latest/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

Once downloaded, you need to add "execute" permission to the installer:

Panel

sudo chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

The last thing to do is executing the Adobe AIR installer:

Panel

sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

dpkg -l|grep adobeair
