Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) for JavaScript Developers Pocket Reference

Uninstalling Adobe AIR Beta | 23

Installing the runtime is simple, and requires downloading
and running the Adobe Integrated Runtime Installer.

1.Download AIR Installer fromhttp://www.adobe.com/go/air

2.Launch the installer. On a Mac, you must first mount the

.dmg file, which contains the installer.

3.Follow the installation instructions.

As Adobe AIR is simply a runtime and not an application
that can be launched, the easiest way to confirm that it is
installed correctly is to try installing an AIR application.

You can do this by either downloading an AIR application
and installing it, or following the instructions later in the
chapter to build a simple AIR application.

TIP

You can download sample AIR applications from

Adobe’s web site at:http://www.adobe.com/go/air.
