    AS you have mentioned that want to know steps to install Adobe air in your system and that is why I would like to tell you that you should first open terminal and then download Adobe Air executable with below code.

    Code:
    wget http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/latest/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
    Now you need to change the permission of the adobe air excitable file. To change the file permission you have to enter below command.

    Code:
     sudo chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
    Now with the help of below command you have to install Adobe air.

    Code:
    sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
    if you face any problem with adobe air installation then let me know.

    I am aware of this problem. To get rid of this missing missing gnome-keyring problem you have to enter below command and then your problem will get solved.
    Code:
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
