How to Install Adobe Flex Builder Linux on Fedora

May 13, 2008 Author: Sherif | Filed under:

It took me a while to get it up and running so I thought to write about it to ease the process for others. Fedora 9 comes with its own “Eclipse” in the packages however when you try to install Flex it will complain about not finding the configuration directory. Here are the Steps you need to have it work.

1) Download Eclipse from here . The one that comes with Fedora will not work

2)Unzip it in any directory of your choosing but keep track of where it is

3) Download the Adobe Flex Builder from here

4) Perferably save it to the Desktop and rename it as Flex, unless you want to type all this in the terminal lexbuilder_linux_install_a3_033108.

5) Open a Terminal

6)write: cd Desktop

7) sh Flex.bin

8 ) It should Launch the Installer, Navigate to where you unzipped the Eclipse Folder

9) After Installation is Done, open that Eclipse and it should work.

Do not use the Standard eclipse that comes with Fedora 9.
