Enable Flash support in Google Chrome for Linux

If you want to have Flash support in Google Crome, the Linux version, you can enable it like this:

Make a plugins directory in the Google Chrome folder


sudo mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins

cd to it


cd /opt/google/chrome/plugins

make a link from Firefox’s Flash Player plugin into the newly created folder


sudo ln -s ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Now launch the browser with this command:

google-chrome --enable-plugins
