    It will download it into your local Downloads folder. Next to your Trash icon, is a folder alias of the Downloads folder. Click once to see files you have downloaded. If the Adobe Flash Player is shown, click on its filename to launch the installer. Before you install, close all browsers and System Preferences panel.

     

    You should be downloading the Adobe Flash Player from this Adobe site. Install now is a misnomer. It really is a download.
