# which are required for Adobe Reader to run:
sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0 libnss3

# Download the Adobe Reader .deb package from the Adobe website:
wget https://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb

# Install the .deb package using the dpkg command:
sudo dpkg -i AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb

# If you encounter any dependencies errors, 
# run the following command to install them:
sudo apt install -f
