acrobat reader with Ubuntu 7 on VMWare

Asked by dagobert39

Please forgive I am fairly new to Unix. I downloaded Acrobat Reader for Linux, a file called AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i486linux_enu.bin. It is on the desktop of Ubuntu 7 which I installed using VMWare on an iMac. Can somebody tell me the commands I have to use in a terminal to install the software?

Many thanks in advance.

move the file (AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i486linux_enu.bin) to the desktop in ubuntu then write this in terminal

cd ~/Desktop
chmod a+x AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i486linux_enu.bin
./AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i486linux_enu.bin

and follow the instructions to install it

I followed your instructions. Extraction went ok, however, then the
program attempts to write to a directory /opt and gets stuck (not
allowed to write yo directory).

Thanks in advance.

write this in the last command

sudo ./AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i486linux_enu.bin

and write your password
