I'm using Xubuntu 16.04.1

For external reasons I cannot use apt-get.

I downloaded flash_player_ppapi_linux.x86_64.tar.gz and have extracted it but I don't know where to put each of the files, the readme does not have instructions.

In the archive are a few legal text files, the readme, libpepflashplayer.so and manifest.json.

  • Which are the "external reasons" why you can't use apt-get? To me it sounds like a severely broken system. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Nov 26 '16 at 11:15
  • Indeed but this is more urgent/currently possible with what I have at hand.

    I'm a Linux hobo right now, living out of a USB stick because my hard drive died on me in the middle of finals week hahahaha.

Search your /usr/lib directory for Chromium's addons or plugins directory. (It may look like chromium-plugins or chromium/addons or chromium/plugins etc.)

Once this has been identified, open the terminal and cd into it. Then use:

sudo cp libpepflashplayer.so <plugins directory location>
