How to install flash in debian 7 (wheezy)

I want to use chromium web browser and so far i have only found tutorials on how to install flash for firefox.

So how could i install it so it works on all browsers?

As far as I know,

Code:

apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

should work on all browsers. Of course, you would need the nonfree repo enabled.

Here is the relevant page from Debian - http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer

Code:

Suggested packages:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

Media change: please insert the disc labeled

 'Debian GNU/Linux 7.0.0 _Wheezy_ - Official amd64 xfce-CD Binary-1 20130504-14:44'

in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter

Here is my sources list:

Code:

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.0.0 _Wheezy_ - Official amd64 xfce-CD Binary-1 $



deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.0.0 _Wheezy_ - Official amd64 xfce-CD Binary-1 20$

deb-src http://ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu/debian/ wheezy main



deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main



# wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile'

deb http://ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu/debian/ wheezy-updates main

deb-src http://ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu/debian/ wheezy-updates main

#Non-free

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy main non-free

#Aptitude

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

You can either put in the CD (and hit enter), or comment out the second "deb cdrom" line with a # and retry.

Oh! I see it has been answered already! :)

Ok that worked, Flash seems to be working now.

Should i just leave that cd source line commented out?

If you don't want to be prompted for that CD, then yep! Leave it commented out. :)

The "deb cdrom" lines are handy if you do not have a network connection, but you have the DVD's.
