About all you have to do is copy flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so
to the plugins directory of your web browser. For example, if you are
using the firefox browser installed into /opt/firefox:
(as root)
mkdir -p /opt/firefox/plugins
cp flashplayer.xpt libflashplayer.so /opt/firefox/plugins
You can also install into your home directory. Most applications will
create a directory in your home dir and you can modify this without root
access. For example, the Mozilla browser creates the following directories:
/home/kwan/.mozilla/default/d28skd1sa.slt/
To install here I would do:
mkdir -p /home/kwan/.mozilla/default/d28skd1sa.slt/plugins
cp libflashplayer.so flashplayer.xpt
~/.mozilla/default/d28skd1sa.slt/plugins
(Above command should be on one line).
