1. Download AIR-SDK from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air_linux.html
2.
Create a directory, e.g. “~/AIR-SDK”. Extract the AIR-SDK’s .tar.bz2
file in this directory (cd ~/AIR-SDK; tar jxvf
/path/to/adobeair_linux_sdk_a1_033108.tbz2) so that adl can be found at
“~/AIR-SDK/bin/adl”.
3. Create a directory, e.g. “~/app”. Use
“unzip” to extract the contents of an AIR application: cd ~/app; unzip
/path/to/application_package.air
4. Use adl to launch the application:

~/AIR-SDK/bin/adl -nodebug ~/app/META-INF/AIR/application.xml ~/app
