How to Install TweetDeck for Linux (Opensuse 11.0)

Twitter is one of the most famous application in this world right now along with his cousin Facebook. Wherever Twitter go, there must be Facebook mentioned also in the phrase. Just like in the Smallville's episode featuring the wonder twins, Chloe mentioned "You (The Blur - a.k.a Superman) now are having facebook and twitter account" :)

So since facebook is best seen using Web Browser, Twitter is having tons of desktop applications. One of them is Tweetdeck, which I found most complete yet kinda complicate to use at first. Well. it's worth to try anyway.

To install Tweetdeck, you could simply go to http://tweetdeck.com/beta/ and click the "Download Now, it's free" (I noticed that they actually want to tell us that IT'S FREE, for NOW" lol..) section as seen on the image below.



It requires you to install Adobe Air and it will ask for your permission to install Adobe Air at first (how polite) but oddly enough I always encountering failed installation using this method.

So I go to http://get.adobe.com/air/, download the bin file. Chmod-ed it to rwx and execute the file. After Adobe Air installed, you could find it in the Menu - Applications - Adobe Air Applications Installer.

Simply choose the .AIR file you want to install.

Hey, how could I download the tweetdeck installer? I can't find it anywhere on the tweetdeck.com? Same problem I found. But it seems that they also kind enough to answer your question in their Support Section.

Have fun tweeting.
