Use the command sudo apt install flashplugin-installer. However, Flash shouldn't be necessary at all with Google Chrome.

That command is deprecated and you didn't mention the need to enable the Partners repository. The one used now is *adobe-flashplugin* (it should uninstall the one you recommended if already installed). Please edit and correct your answer. – Nov 04 '16 at 00:16

1@CelticWarrior: Unfortunately it's not that easy, at least not yet. Please see the ubuntu-devel thread which starts with [this message](https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2016-October/039529.html). – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Nov 04 '16 at 00:42

@GunnarHjalmarsson In the system where I tested it it always removed the old one. However, the duplicate has a better, more complete, answer. – Nov 04 '16 at 00:45

@CelticWarrior: Indeed, I didn't object to that part of your comment. But considering that _flashplugin-installer_ is actually installed on most desktops to begin with, it's not exactly deprecated, is it? (Canonical has made this unnecessarily complicated IMO.) – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Nov 04 '16 at 00:50

@CelticWarrior What are you talking about? That package doesn't exist: "Package 'adobe-flashplugin' has no installation candidate" on my 16.04 system. Meanwhile, `flashplugin-installer` works fine. – Aaron Franke Nov 04 '16 at 02:04

@AaronFranke You need to enable the Partners repository. And please read the answers in the dupe mentioned above. Thanks. – Nov 04 '16 at 02:10
