How to install Silverlight in Ubuntu? [duplicate]

How do I install Silverlight plugin in Ubuntu? And how to configure browser with Silverlight plugin?

Answer

You cannot install Silverlight in Ubuntu since it is a proprietary Microsoft plugin that does not work with Linux. If you need silverlight functionality you can try your luck with Pipelight which is an open source implementation of this.

You can install pipelight directly from their ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight-multi
sudo pipelight-plugin --update
