Was installing AIR last night on my nice new Studio XPS 13 laptop, recoiling in horror at Adobe’s workaround installation instructions for 64-bit Linux, when I found these simple instructions:

Install Adobe AIR Linux 1.5 on 64-bit Linux distributions

So Adobe has this knowledge base article — Install Adobe AIR Linux 1.5 on 64-bit Linux distributions — to describe how to install Adobe Air on 64 bit linux systems. Do yourself a favor — just install wine from the standard repositories, and then execute the last line in the instructions:

sudo cp /usr/lib/libadobecertstore.so /usr/lib32

Wine already sets up a complete 32bit compatible environment, so you
don’t have to worry about manually breaking out shared libraries.

Much easier.
