How to Install Silverlight Browser Support on Mageia 4 Linux Easy Guide

Install Silverlight for Mageia 4 Linux

Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install Silverlight Firefox and Opera Web Browser Support by the Pipelight Package for Mageia 4 i586/x8664 GNOME/KDE Linux.

Pipelight allows one to run Windows browser plugins in the context of Linux browsers.

To Achieve this Pipelight do:

• Connects the Windows DLL with the Linux process
• Translates between platform dependent differences on the NPAPI
• Uses a Patched Wine version

Pipelight needs to start Wine to execute the pluginloader. This May Slow down the Start of your Browser.

1. Open Terminal Window
   (Press “Enter” to Execute Commands)
