Install OnlyOffice on Linux ARM Device #

OnlyOffice #

Open source Microsoft Office alternative, with a better interface than LibreOffice
OpenOffice combines the best features of WPS Office and LibreOffice: it has a more familiar interface, and it's actually open source. It can edit documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs.

To run: Menu -> Office -> ONLYOFFICE
To run in a terminal: onlyoffice-desktopeditors

NOTE: You may encounter slow performance because OnlyOffice cannot run natively in Wayland. It uses a Qt5 window with CEF for the GUI, all as a X11 window.

Fortunately, OnlyOffice is very easy to install on your Linux ARM Device in just two steps.

1. Install Pi-Apps - the best app installer for Linux ARM Device.
2. Use Pi-Apps to install OnlyOffice.

Compatibility #

For the best chance of this working, we recommend using the latest LTS of Ubuntu or Debian from your hardware manufacturer.
OnlyOffice will only run on an Ubuntu/Debian ARM64 OS. Pi-Apps will not let you install OnlyOffice on an Ubuntu/Debian ARM32 OS.
