Install Acrobat Reader (acroread) on Ubuntu Jaunty

The medibuntu repositorires only have the amd64 version of Acrobat Reader, however an i386 version is available from Adobe here: http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/.

Open a Terminal window and navigate to the folder where the file was downloaded to. Then enter:

sudo su

Enter your password followed by the enter key.

chmod +x AdbeRdr9.1.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin
./AdbeRdr9.1.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin

Follow the instructions to install Adobe Acrobat Reader. Pressing enter at the installation directory choice will use the default [/opt].

Finally type

exit

to exit su.

Hope that helps!
