Here is how to install the 64-bit version of Google Chrome with the Adobe Flash Player and Sun Java plugins on Fedora Linux 13.

First, Import the Google Key:

> wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
> rpm --import linux_signing_key.pub

Log into root, download the Google signing key, and import it with RPM.

Set Up the Google Repository:

> vi /etc/yum.repos.d/google64.repo
[google64]
name=Google – x86_64
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Create a yum repository file for Google and add the 64-bit information above.

Next, Install Google Chrome:

> yum install google-chrome-stable

Install the Adobe Flash Plugin:

> gzip -d libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
> tar -xvf libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar
> mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins/
> mv libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins/

Download the 64-bit version of Flash Player for Linux from Adobe’s site here and uncompress it. Create a plugins directory for Google Chrome, and then move the Adobe Flash Player plugin file into the newly created directory.

Install the Sun Java Plugin:

> cd /opt/google/chrome/plugins
> ln -s /usr/lib/java/jre1.6.0_20/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so .

If you have not installed Sun’s Java runtime, follow my CentOS instructions here. These instructions work for Fedora too. Simply link the 64-bit Java plugin file to Google Chrome’s plugin directory. Do not forget the period at the end.

Finally, Check the Installed Plugins:

Launch Google Chrome and type about:plugins into the address bar. You should see both the Adobe Flash Player and Sun Java plugins installed.
