Install Application of Ubuntu Restricted Extras

Application: Ubuntu Restricted Extras

What it is:

While not strictly an application in the true sense, Ubuntu Restricted
Extras takes care of a number of software and codecs that other Ubuntu
applications may require and that cannot be shipped with Ubuntu for
legal reasons.

To install in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

This will install Java, Flash, some proprietary fonts and a bunch of
codecs, enabling you to view most video files and play your favorite
audio formats and a lot more essential software that you may not use
directly but is important all the same.
