Installing pepperflash - flashplayer 24 - for Chromium 32bit

[PCNetSpec]

[EDIT]

NO LONGER NECESSARY .. instead install adobe-flashplugin which contains both pepperflash and flashplayer .. see here:
https://forum.peppermintos.com/index.php/topic,4802.msg53995.html#msg53995
for instructions

[END EDIT]


The following instructions are for 32bit Peppermint ONLY .. this pepperflash version will NOT work in 64bit Chromium.

If you're running 64bit Peppermint, use the instructions at the following link instead:-

flashso="/usr/lib/adobe-pepflashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so"

CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --ppapi-flash-path=$flashso --ppapi-flash-version=$(grep version $flashjson | sed 's|.*"version": ||;s|"||g;s|,||')"SAVE that file, and exit pluma.
