How to install real player and Macromedia Flash
After downloading real player and Macromedia flash; how to install them ? In which file system to install them ?
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance |
what distro you use? you download rpm, .bin, .sh or deb?
normally you can install it via, yum, apt-get, yast or etc, not necessary you need to download it separately. By the way,please update your personal information what distribution you use, so next time others people not need to ask you again. |
It helps if you mention which distro you are using and the exact packages you downloaded.

I am using RedHat AS 4.

[realplayer]
after download the realplayer.rpm,type rpm -Uivh realplayerfile.rpm [optional] copy all codecs under realplayer home folder intooo/usr/lib/win32, so next time you can use xine, mplayer to play .rm file. The performance is much more better [flash plugin] download the linux flash-plugin package from adobe, extract into mozilla 'plugin' folder. You can find your mozilla firefox folder under ~/.mozilla or ~/.mozilla-firefox However, I strong not recommend you use redhat as4, unless you have much money to suscripe. You either use centos or whitebox, they both re-use redhat source code and have same performance. And, they are free support. |

In my experience, Xine doesn't actually recognise the codecs used by RealPlayer anyway. If you've got RealPlayer, there's not really any point messing around to try to get other players to play .rm files anyway, when RealPlayer can play them perfectly well out of the box. |

probably you are right, i use mplayer normally If you've got RealPlayer, there's not really any point messing around to try to get other players to play .rm files anyway, when RealPlayer can play them perfectly well out of the box. i am not agree this statement cause every distro i tried the native realplayer(from helix) is bad performance, the way I solve it is using others player with realplayer plugin (such as mplayer). anyway, mplayer not support .ram file, I still go back to realplayer for listen online music streaming. |

I don't know of any distro that has RPM but doesn't have a graphical front end for it. |
With your straight download you can install after extracting,then you follow the instruction on your screen straight away.

Clicking on the file invokes a package management system which can address any dependencies that can be resolved by installing other packages from the distro repositories automatically, wheras running RPM from the command line doesn't address any dependencies at all. Quote:

Installing from the command line is irrelevant to this thread, since we know that the original poster has all the necessary utilities to install software without having to do this. |
the poster already complete the job and leave here already. But we still fighting.
