[How-To] Install Adobe AIR 2.6 Ubuntu 12.04

Adobe Air:

The Adobe® AIR® runtime enables developers to package the same code into native apps for iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire, Nook Tablet, and other Android™ devices, reaching the mobile app stores for over 500 million devices. (From adobe website)

This is obviously not true as they stopped support for the product on Linux platforms back a 2.6 (3.2 latest currently)

Installing

Adobe AIR is no longer hosted on canonical servers for ubuntu, you now have to manually download it from adobe. After downloading it you'll want to make it exectuable and then run it.
chmod +x ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

If the installer gives you a error about not having GNOME-Keyring installed when you actually do then there are some extra steps involved;
 For 32-bit computers:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/

For 64-bit computers:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/
