    you download the script from adobe? you run it as root in a terminal, it asks you where you want it installed and you just point to a folder where your browser plugin folder is. You can probably run it as yourself and just point to any folder but I've never tried that before.

    Please tell us what distro you are using as mr_raider asked. This will tell us the easiest way for you to get the plugin. If you are using Ubuntu then you can get the plugin directly from the repository with no need to download any scripts/installers from adobe. Some other distros, like Debian Stable for instance, don't have the official adobe plugin in their repos and it is easier to install the flash plugin from adobe.
