I'm new to Ubuntu. I'd like to listen to BBC radio. Listen again/sounds and can't. BBC says to download Adobe flash player.

How do I do this on Ubuntu?

    If you talking about https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_1xtra for example, it *does* play under Firefox without any problem. There should be no need Adobe Flash Player. – FedKad May 05 '20 at 10:52
  • I listen to it all the time on Chromium / Brave browsers - no flashplayer here either – steeldriver May 05 '20 at 11:08

First, you will need to add the required repository (collection of software) sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner".

Next, you will need to install any updates via sudo apt update.

Then, run this command to install Flash Player: sudo apt install flashplugin-installer. Run all of this in the terminal, and remember that you will have to restart your browser.

You might want to verify the installation on the Adobe website (optional).
