How to run/execute an adobe AIR file on Linux (ec2/ubuntu) from command line only (no gui)

Im trying to execute a .AIR file on a linux box (ubuntu) from the command line, and disregard the GUI.

Here's the thing. About 6mo I was able to do this, but I forgot how I did it, and I'm left to figure out how it was done by looking at clues on the server.

--- runAir.sh ---

  #!/bin/sh
  export DISPLAY=:2
  /opt/MainSimple/bin/MainSimple &

So my question is, now that I have a new/different air file... how do I get it to "install" or change/compile into a binary file like I did before?

I know an .air file is just a zip file.. I unzipped it, and theirs no /bin directory in it.

To install an air application from command-line, you can try this:

ln -s "/opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Adobe AIR Application Installer" /usr/sbin/airinstall

The above command will create a symbolic link for Air Application Installer. Then, to install an air app:

airinstall app.air

To execute/run the air application, locate the binary file of your air application then run it on terminal:

/opt/MainSimple/bin/MainSimple &
