Do we need to download flashplayer on Ubuntu or is it already there?

I installed it on my PC just by passing the command in terminal:

sudo apt-get insall flashplugin-installer

And it doesn't seem to be downloading but it works after the installation.

It depends on which version you installed. If you installed 16.04, and chose to install certain 3rd party software, flashplugin-installer was probably installed to start with.

From Ubuntu 17.10 Flash will not be installed by default, but you need to install it explicitly. The reason is that Flash as such will be EOL before the end of the 18.04 LTS.
