Installing Flash Player: for what and how?

A couple of decades ago, the review of Internet pages was limited to text only. Today, everything has changed dramatically. And it is noticeable right away! Almost every site has images, animation and listening to music, the ability to play games and watch videos. There are many different programs and special programming languages for writing sites that can organize all this. Installing Flash Player will allow the user to enjoy all the beauties of the modern Internet! Most often this component is used to play video and music, as well as for games written specifically for this module.

How to understand that the installation of Flash Player is not performed?

So, if you just start to explore the Internet, you probably still do not know what Flash Player is, how to find it, where it is installed, where to find it, how to use it. All these questions should disappear when reading this article, but for now let's try to answer the question about what Flash Player installation is necessary for (and what you will get by doing this).

As a matter of fact, Flash Player is a plug-in (ie addition) to your Internet browser (Opera, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Google Chrome and any other). Add-ons to browsers today there are many (and each of them has its own purpose!). Purpose Flash Player - help the browser in reading specially written for this module programs that can perform a certain action.

Having visited any site that contains this or that program for this plugin, you will see a message that the installation of Adobe Flash Player is not completed. Clearly, in this case the module is simply not installed on the PC. If there are no messages, then maybe they are completely disabled in your browser. In this situation, the absence of a plug-in can be learned from the fact that the page does not contain any element, when you know for sure that it should be there.

How is the Flash Player installed?

The surest way is to follow the instructions of your browser. Again, the Internet browser should give a message about the lack of a plug-in and offer to go to the official site of Adobe to download the installer. And if your browser offers you this - safely click on the action confirmation button. After you go to the official site in the upper left corner, some information about your computer (the version of the operating system and the browser) should be displayed, if it's true, then at the bottom you will need to click the "Download" button. After that, the installer file will be downloaded.

After the download is finished, you need to run the file (but before you close the browser), then the installation will continue. Flash Player will start uploading the necessary files (therefore, the connection to the Internet is mandatory). After the end of the whole process, we can say that the installation of the Flash Player is completely completed.

There is, of course, another way. The installation of Flash Player can also be done by downloading it from third-party resources or from some disk purchased from "street" sellers, which is not always safe. Therefore, it is recommended to install this plug-in only in the above way.
