If I try to watch video's or play games online, websites tell me that I don't have flash player installed.

When I try to install flash using the command line : sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer it tells : 

the@the-desktop: ~$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package flashplugin-installer is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'flashplugin-installer' has no installation candidate '

Which additional steps are needed here to install flashplayer?

Upgrading to a supported release likely will be the best solution - however if you go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 , you should be able to enable the HTML5 player: enter image description here

This does not need flash installed, though you will need a recent enough version of Firefox, and probably the needed video codecs.
