Having trouble installing Adobe Flash Player? Identify your issue and try the corresponding solution.

1. After downloading Flash Player, close all browsers. Locate the Flash Player install file. Unless you have specified otherwise, the file is saved in your Downloads folder. Double-click the installer file to begin the Flash Player installation. Choose Window Downloads or press Option+Command+L.
2. As a result, most web browsers have even started disabling Flash Player content by default for security reasons. The problem is not necessarily Flash Player itself, but some malware is added into a seemingly harmless Adobe Flash Player package, tricking you into downloading a virus. Another potential red flag is when a site asks you to update.
3. By clicking the Download now button, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the Adobe Software Licensing Agreement.

For Safari on Mac OS, see Enable Flash Player for Safari.

For Google Chrome, see Enable Flash Player for Chrome.
