Here you can find hints and tips if you are having issues getting the Adobe AIR based Flex SDK installer Installer to work, as well as details of how to use the command-line to install the Flex SDK using Ant without requiring Adobe AIR.
If you had installed a previous (pre-release) version of the installer app, you will probably get an AIR error because of the mis-matched mismatched certificates. If you see such an error, you may need to uninstall the installer before continuing.
Mac OS (10.9 or later)

-based installer on macOS (10.9 or later)
The Adobe AIR-based installer app is not signed or notarized, which prevents modern versions of macOS from verifying its origin. Attempting to open the Adobe AIR-based installer app will cause macOS to block it and display a warning that the app is from an unknown developer. For a workaround, see Apple: Open a Mac app from an unknown developer.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0 |
For 64bit systems
| Panel |
|---|
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0 |

wget http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/latest/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin |
Once downloaded, you need to add "execute" permission to the installer:
| Panel |

| Panel |
|---|
sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin |
Confirm is installed once complete

Install AIR on Fedora and other .rpm based system (such as CentOS)
Currently .rpm's of the installer are not available.
Follow the instructions above to install the AIR runtime, then there has been some success reported using alien to convert the .deb package and install that. You will find the installer in /opt if all went well.
