I am running Ubuntu 13.10 and would like to use Adobe flash in Chromium (or Chrome). How can I do this? If not possible, what linux software is available that will work with flash files?

google chrome have an integrated flashplugin (latest version), chromium is using default flashplayer from the system (old version), askubuntu.com/questions/341428/…– Rodislav MoldovanApr 5, 2014 at 16:17

chrome is using pepper plugin to play flash recently, it's embedded in chrome. If you want to use it in chromium check out this link askubuntu.com/questions/424322/…– kennApr 5, 2014 at 16:31

4This is not a duplicate because Chromium needs pepper flash and not the old flash plugin which is the subject of the other question.– mniessMay 29, 2014 at 17:20

- Open a terminal with CTRL+ALT+T
- Run the command
sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
You won't need to install Adobe Flash if you install Google Chrome, it has an integrated flashplugin:
The Google Chrome browser (32 bit) includes Adobe Flash Player built-in. Accordingly, it's not necessary for Chrome to download Flash Player separately.

1Google Chrome and Chromium are different browsers (with the same code base though). The former has Flash integrated, the latter doesn't.– kravietzMay 24, 2016 at 8:02
You need to install the package pepperflashplugin-nonfree.
Here are the instructions:
- Open a terminal with CTRL+ALT+T
- Run the command
sudo apt-get install -y pepperflashplugin-nonfree - Restart Chromium
The next working fine for me in UbuntuStudio 16.04 64 bits (the above not working)
I copy and paste from:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash
"As of 2015-05, the old "pepperflashplugin-nonfree" is deprecated in favor of an official, maintained, one-step package called adobe-flashplugin, which works for Firefox and Chromium and derivatives, but not for Yandex.Browser 46.0.2490.3623 beta (64-bit version) on November 2015. No terminals, no multiverse.
Add the Canonical Partners software source, and install adobe-flashplugin. See Chromium/Getting-Partner-Flash. Chromium/Getting-Flash
