Right now Adobe AIR is only officially available for 32-bit Linux.

But it does w ork on 64-bit Linux with the 32-bit compatibility libraries. There are several w ays to install Adobe AIR on Linux. My preferred way on Ubuntu is to use the .deb package. However the .deb package distributed by Adobe can only be installed on 32-bit systems. Good news is that this can be easily fixed! To install the Adob e AIR .deb package on a 64-bit system just follow these steps: Download the Adobe AIR .deb file In a terminal window go to the directory containing the adobeair.deb file Create a tmp dir: mkdir tmp Extract the deb file to the tmp dir: dpkg-deb -x adobeair.deb tmp Extract the control files: dpkg-deb --control adobeair.deb tmp/DEBIAN Change the Architecture parameter from i386 to all: sed -i "s/i386/all/" tmp/DEBIAN/control Repackage the deb file: dpkg -b tmp adobeair_64.deb Now you can install Adobe AIR on a 64-bit system! From the command line just do: sudo dpkg -i adobeair_64.deb Thats it! Let me know if you have any questions.
