The AIR team has just published a pretty comprehensive blog post that can help you if you run in to a problem while installing AIR 1.5 on your Linux machine. In all honesty, I also ran in to a few glitches when I tried to install it on my Ubuntu machine… and the reason was very simple. I did not read the release notes (PDF). If I had done that, I would have known to remove any previous version of the AIR runtime and all AIR applications before installing AIR 1.5. Doh!

From now on, I will read the release notes before I install anything… Well… Probably not… But this certainly is a lesson learnt. ;-)

air_icon_specialJust a quick note to tell you that AIR 1.5 is now released for Linux. The AIR team also posted a TechNote on how to install AIR on 64-bit Linux distros.

I actually use Ubuntu on my EEE PC and AIR was one of the first things I installed on it. By installing the AIR runtime, I had immediate access to my favorite Twitter client Tweetdeck and the other AIR apps that I regularly use like Snackr, PassPack and TokBox.
