Arch Linux install

Post by Hortdog »

I have been trying to install office Pro having purchased it yesterday.
I have a problem installing it.
I have tried . deb download as well as debian but the software installer says its the wrong file type not supported.
I would appreciate help with this.
I do have the free version installed.

On Debian, you should install SoftMaker Office using the command line.

On 32-bit Debian, open a shell or terminal window and enter these commands:

su -
apt-get update
dpkg -i softmaker-office-2018_976-01_i386.deb
apt-get install -f
On 64-bit Debian, open a shell or terminal window and enter these commands:

su -
apt-get update
dpkg -i softmaker-office-2018_976-01_amd64.deb
apt-get install -f

----------------------------------------------------------
We test SoftMaker Office with the current versions of the following distributions and recommend choosing one of them:

Debian
Ubuntu
Linux Mint
openSUSE
Fedora

If your system is not listed here and you cannot run the installation with the instructions given above, you can install SoftMaker Office using our .tgz-based installation packages.

Depending on your system, download the 32-bit or 64-bit .tgz installation package. Then uncompress and untar it, and finally run the installation script inside:

If you use a 32-bit Linux system:

tar xvzf softmaker-office-2018-976-i386.tgz
./installsmoffice
If you use a 64-bit Linux system:

tar xvzf softmaker-office-2018-976-amd64.tgz
./installsmoffice
