   What theme are you using?

   Thanks for this – it was useful. You are linking to an old version of the installer now, but that’s not a problem as the app prompts for an update. However, you’ll be screwed when they remove or move that direct link from their server.

   @coxy – thanks for the heads up. Post updated!

   I tried doing this on a fresh install of Kubuntu. For some reason I get an error message when trying to install Adobe Air that says I need gnome-keyring or Kwallet. Anyone have any ideas on what I need to do? I’m pretty fresh to this whole Linux thing.

   Here is the actual message verbatim.

   Adobe AIR could not be installed. Either gnome-keyring or Kwallet must be installed prior to installing Adobe AIR.

   Thank you. Tweetdeck are absolutely hopeless in every regard at providing usable information for their users.

   Not working for me. Says cmod is: command not found
9. richardbaxterseo June 19, 2009 at 5:11 pm

   @George – try chmod – that’s the command we’re using in this post:

   chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

14. Steph September 26, 2009 at 5:36 am

    Thank you. The TweetDeck site wasn't working.
15. Jer October 20, 2009 at 2:50 pm

    Hi.. I am having an issue… I am trying to install Adobe AIR but all I get is: “An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator”.

    I have tried just about anything before issuing the command: “sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin” like closing firefox, making sure the /opt/Adobe Air directory does not exist.

    Actually Adobe Air was working fine.. up until I decided to run “Computer Janitor” thats when Adobe Air started to get messed up…

    Please shed some light over this issue…

    I will really appreciate it.

    Felipe the SAME THING happened to me! I ran computer janitor, and it messed everything up.
20. Michaeljwjr January 18, 2010 at 7:57 pm

    Fixed it! Yay!

    Felipe Run:

    $sudo dpkg –purge adobe-certs

    then

    $chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
    $sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

    Thank you Richard for the installation guide and thank you Jer for the link! Now I’ve successfully installed TweetDeck.

    There is already a package for Adobe AIR that you can install using Apt Get. After installing the package you can install TweetDeck going to the official site and following the instructions on this article.

    Go to your Downloads folder, rename the downloaded file from .bin to .sh so it looks like this:

    AdobeAIRInstaller.sh
    Now right click the file -> Properties -> Permissions and check the last option “Execute as an application”.
    Click on the file and follow the instructions. From now on, you can click on any .air file to install it.
