How to install adobe reader9.0 on linux

Written by Mel Kham on . Posted in Linux tutorials

To Install adobe9 on linux, please follow the steps bellow :

First go to http://www.adobe.com


 Choose adobe reader , then download the .bin file

in my case I save it on my desktop

Now we have to make the .Bin file executable, use the command :

chmod u+x AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i486linux_enu.bin  

now run the installation by the command :

./AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i486linux_enu.bin  

output

Extracting files, please wait. (This may take a while depending on the configuration of your machine)

This installation requires 144 MB of free disk space.

Enter installation directory for Adobe Reader 9.1.0 [/opt] adobe  Here choose the name of directory

Directory “/home/zinovsky/Desktop/adobe” does not exist.

Do you want to create it now? [y] y  Here answer yes y

    Thank you I tried all the other ones to install this and no one knew that the u+x works. I truly appreciate this information.

    Sorry. Forgot to add that, of course, you can also make the bin file executable using your desktop GUI, keep ownership the same and run the installation with sudo (if that is how your isntallation is set-up).

    Thanks again

Do you think that it works on a Macbook Air 1,1?… ohh and, it must be installed in a different partition than Mac OS X, right?… can´t have i installed only Ubuntu on my hard drive?
