Installing flash for Google Chrome in linux

Recently I installed Google Chrome for linux. It is a much faster browser then Firefox but it did not come with flash. Also the flash install is not what I would call trivial.

Step One: Download the flash plugin from adobe.

Step Two: Extract the file from tar.gz archive using your archive manager.

Step Three: Go to the directory were you installed Chrome (for me it is: /opt/Chrome/opt/google/chrome)

Step Four: Create a directory called plugins

Step Five: Place the libflashplayer.so in the plugins directory.
