Excellent post!

I had an extra issue because I’m an Awesome user, but there’s documentation on the Adobe website which got me past that final speedbump and lets me run AIR apps as well ( http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/492/cpsid_49267.html –> check the bottom of the page)

I used your instructions to get the download manager for Shockhound (a music download site) to work in Gentoo ~amd64. I had to first install it in a Windows 7 VM to get the .air files (they were in C:\Program Files (x86)\Shockhound Download Manager. Many thanks.

“The other part of being a Gentoo user however, means that I wasn’t going to give up in a hurry.”

This! This is me right now. It’s five in the morning. My Pandora free ran out so I upgraded to Pandora premium and want to run the payer… which runs on adobe Air.

Thank you for posting this. Bookmarked for tommorrow.

Hi
Just wanted to point out that AIR-Linux, has been out of beta for a long time now, its at par with AIR on windows. Download the latest version from: http://get.adobe.com/air/

Awesome guide. Worked perfectly for me except rather than install everything to /opt, I installed everything to ~/local and adjusted the Bash script accordingly. I figure that unless you run a multi-user system where the users use the desktop, run this all from within your /home directory.

This is great. I was bummed when I couldn’t get the Pandora AIR app to run initially on my Gentoo boxes. The instructions here worked, and I don’t need to have a browser open to use Pandora any more. Yay!

I get “Illegal instruction” when I run the SDK, the AIR installer. I can’t find the 1.1 version anywhere… anyone got a copy?

Great, this helped me a lot =)

Shouldn’t the last part of the command to run an app be: /opt/AIR-apps/application-name? (Think you forgot the AIR-apps part)

I really appreciate this article. AIR is now running smoothly on my Sabayon box.
