Adobe Flash Player [formerly Macromedia Flash Player] has become a ubiquitous part of the Internet. Without Flash Player, some website features are inaccessible, and a few websites won't work at all. Luckily, installing Flash Player on your home computer is a simple process that will take only a few minutes.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    In your Internet browser, go to the Flash Player download site (see Resources).

  2. Step 2

    On the Flash Player download page, click "Agree and Install Now."

  3. Step 3

    Depending upon your browser and settings, a dialog box may ask for permission to begin the download. Click the "Run" or "Save and Run" button (the message may vary slightly based on your browser).

  4. Step 4

    When Flash Player is finished downloading, a dialog box may ask for permission to run the Flash Player Install program. Click "Run" (again, the message may vary slightly based on your browser).

  5. Step 5

    A dialog box will appear to alert you when the installation is complete. If it requests permission to close and restart the browser, click "Yes."

Tips & Warnings
  • Flash Player works on most Internet browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. The Flash Player download website automatically detects your browser when you connect.
