In the terminal I added the universe repository and then issued command sudo apt install adobe-flashplugin. It seemed to install correctly. I then installed Google Chrome by finding the appropriate repository and issuing sudo apt install google-chrome-stable. After that, I open Chrome and try to play a video on HBO GO, but it tells me that I need to have Flash installed. I then found these instructions: Google Chrome lost the up-to-date Flash Player
However, after purging the installed libraries and restarting Chrome, then trying again to play the video, it still says that I need to install Flash.
Any suggestions?
[Edit: Update, I clicked the link that pops up for getting Flash--I initially figured this shouldn't be useful since it'll just take me to Adobe's page where I'm supposed to download things rather than use the package manager, which seemed like a bad idea. But I clicked it just to try something, and it refreshed and no longer tells me I need to download Flash. However, now, it just hangs on the video with the "buffering" image and never actually plays the video.]
