How to install Acrobat Reader on Centos

June 17th, 2009 Ali Abbas Leave a comment Go to comments

1. go to acrobat.com/reader

2. download the bin linux install file

3. chmod +x AdbeRdr9.1.1-1_i486linux_enu.bin

4. ./AdbeRdr9.1.1-1_i486linux_enu.bin

Extracting files, please wait. (This may take a while depending on the configuration of your machine)

This installation requires 144 MB of free disk space.

Enter installation directory for Adobe Reader 9.1.1 [/opt]

(press enter)

The installation will therefore go on

Installing platform independent files … Done

    Hello JC,

    I am not sure as to what you are exactly referring, but in this example setup, there would be no need to change the directory since you would be executing the adobe binary file to automatically install as specified under /opt.

    It is of course assumed you do know where you downloaded the adobe binary file and able to execute it ;-)

    Cheers,

    Ali
