How to Install Adobe Air on Ubuntu 64-Bit

Recently I tried to install an Adobe Air program, and I ran into a problem. Adobe Air doesn't support 64-Bit Edition native. This guide will show you how to make it 64-Bit compatible. (If you are using 10.04 or older you may need to install ia32-libs first)

  1. Download the Adobe Air.deb file.
  2. Open Terminal (This can be found in "Applications > Accessories > Terminal")
  3. In Terminal go to the directory where you downloaded the .deb file. (By default this is ~/Downloads):
    1. cd 'Directory of .deb file'
      
    1. Create a temporary directory:
      1. mkdir tmp
      1. Extract the .deb file to the temporary directory:
        1. dpkg-deb -x adobeair.deb tmp
        1. Extract the Control Files
          1. dpkg-deb --control adobeair.deb tmp/DEBIAN
          1. Change the Architecture Parameter from 'i386' to 'all':
            1. sed -i "s/i386/all" tmp/DEBIAN/control
            1. Repackage the .deb File
              1. dpkg -b tmp adobeair_64.deb
              1. Now you may install Adobe Air by either double clicking the new .deb file (adobeair_64.deb), or entering the following into the same Terminal window
                1. sudo dpkg -i adobeair_64.deb
                Enjoy Adobe Air on your Ubuntu System!
