Adobe AIR, the runtime environment I’ve written about before, has moved out of Alpha and into Beta. Expect apps to run more consistently with Windows and Mac.

Be sure to uninstall any previous releases of Adobe AIR before moving forward. This can be done in a number of ways depending on how it was initially installed.

Enter these commands to get the newest version (currently 1.1):

cd ~/Desktop

wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/air/linux/adobeair_linux_b1_091508.bin

Give the .bin file execution rights:

sudo chmod +x adobeair_linux_b1_091508.bin

Run the bin file to install/upgrade AIR:

sudo ./adobeair_linux_b1_091508.bin
