Adobe Air On Jaunty Jackalope 9.04

Introduction

The most known Adobe Air applications out there is TweetDeck which is an application for tweeting and receiving twitter updates on your desktop.  But there are a lot more handy apps on the Adobe Air Marketplace.

Installation

To install Adobe Air go to the Adobe Air website and download the Adobe Air installer.  I would advise to download it to the desktop this will make it easier for you to run the next couple of commands.

1. Run this command to make the file executable:

sudo chmod +x ~/Desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

2. Run:

~/Desktop/./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

The Adobe Air installer will now start.  Follow the instructions on the screen and finish the installation.

That’s it you’re ready to install some air apps now.

Some Of My Picks

TweetDeck beta 0.25 to install click the download button on the website this button will only work when Adobe Air is installed.

Ebay Desktop download and install here.  I love Ebay. Ebay desktop gives you a nice interface with Ebay in mind.  Search Ebay, watch items then bid and win….Now I can win even more items lol…

MePing I use Ping.fm to post status updates and micro blog entries on a big number of sites. Get MePing to do it from your desktop.

Polaris is an application to view your google analitycs. Get it here.

You can get more great apps from the marketplace.

Not That Many Apps.

Your right at the time of writing this where only 500 applications in the app marketplace.  As I use Adobe Air more and more I will discover problems I’m sure.

    Typo.
    Should be:
    sudo chmod +x ~/Desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
    Other than that, works great. Thanks

    Surely the ‘sudo’ is on the wrong command? Shouldn’t it be:

    chmod +x ~/Desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
    sudo ~/Desktop/./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

    No it is not. The chmod command doesn’t work without it. AdobeAirInstaller.bin will invoke kdesu adn ask for a password that way.
