<title>Installera Flash-tillägget</title>

<p><app>Flash</app> is a <em>plug-in</em> for your web browser which allows you to watch videos and use interactive web pages on some websites. Some websites won't work without Flash.</p>

<p>Would be nice to (soft?) link to a page on the software installer</p>

<p>If you do not have Flash installed, you will probably see a message telling you so when you visit a website that needs it. Flash is available as a free (but not open-source) download for most web browsers. Most Linux distributions have a version of Flash that you can install through their software installer (package manager) too.</p>

<steps>
 <title>Om Flash finns tillgängligt från programinstallationen:</title>
 <item>
  <p>Öppna programinstallationsprogrammet och sök efter <input>flash</input>.</p>
 </item>
 <item>
  <p>Leta efter <gui>Adobe Flash plug-in</gui>, <gui>Adobe Flash Player</gui> eller liknande och klicka för att installera det.</p>
 </item>
 <item>
  <p>If you have any web browser windows open, close them and then re-open them. The web browser should realize that Flash is installed when you open it again and you should now be able to view websites using Flash.</p>
 </item>
</steps>

<steps>
 <title>Om Flash <em>inte finns</em> tillgängligt från programinstallationen:</title>
 <item>
  <p>Go to the <link href="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer">Flash Player download website</link>. Your browser and operating system should be automatically detected.</p>
 </item>
 <item>
  <p>Click where it says <gui>Select a version to download</gui> and choose the type of software installer that works for your Linux distribution. If you don't know which to use, choose the <file>.tar.gz</file> option.</p>
 </item>
 <item>
  <p>Look at the <link href="http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/productinfo/instructions/">installation instructions for Flash</link> to learn how to install it for your web browser.</p>

<section id="alternatives">
 <title>Alternativ till Flash med öppen källkod</title>
 <p>A handful of free, open-source alternatives to Flash are available. These tend to work better than the Flash plug-in in some ways (for example, by handling sound playback better), but worse in others (for example, by not being able to display some of the more complicated Flash pages on the web).</p>
 <p>You might like to try one of these if you are dissatisfied with the Flash player, or if you would like to use as much open-source software as possible on your computer. Here are a few of the options:</p>
