    Instructions to install StarOffice on Linux

    Instructions to install StarOffice on Linux



    Introduction :
    This is because although SUN StarOffice with a graphical installer extradite eight, but these systems do not work on Ubuntu. Also, there are the various software packages of StarOffice 8 in RPM format, while Ubuntu DEB package format in the form of archives will find a. This could be even using rpm to install under Ubuntu, then you would need but an additional package database (in addition to maintaining apt), which can be an additional source of error in turn. A transformation of the RPM files to DEB files using Alien is very easily and quickly available, but unfortunately, we obtain a large number of small packets, which update or install or uninstall the software unnecessarily difficult one. The script takes one the tedious task of implementing the steps from complete, the conversion from RPM to DEB format needed to be. As a bonus, you get a single deb package, which is much easier to install and can be faster than the number of RPM packages.

    Re: Instructions to install StarOffice on Linux

    Version differences :
    There are always several versions of StarOffice available. When you buy Star Office is to ensure that the packaging is clearly marked, that a Linux version is included, otherwise it is just only the Windows version which is included in Ubuntu does not run.

    Star Office has at least versions of Linux skills are:
    - StarOffice 8 Standard Edition: This version is available for the following operating systems: Linux, Windows, Windows Server, Windows Mobile and Solaris (x86 and SPARC). List price is according to Sun € 79.95. This version relates the following installation instructions. Between the Standard Edition and Home Edition is a Windows installation, no difference.
    - StarOffice 8 Enterprise Edition: This edition is intended only for companies. It provides extensive management tools and documentation for extending the functionality of StarOffice ready (Link (de)), as follows:
    Integration of JavaScript and BeanShell as other macro languages
    Migration tools for Microsoft Office macros to convert from Visual Basic Applications (VBA).
    - StarOffice 8 in the free 90 days trial version: This version is the normal standard edition of StarOffice 8 They just can unfortunately only 90 days to test. After the expiry of 90 days you have to either buy a code to unlock, or the software (does notlink). The trial version can only be used in the CD version exist.
    - StarOffice 8 for customers in research and teaching: This is the StarOffice 8 Enterprise Edition. It is for schools, universities, state educators, pupils and students free of charge. This can be either the school or college (order just once competent person in the data center or computer room to ask) or download it directly from Sun. The use of Star Office version is only legal if you are registered has. This must be one school or institution register once his. Then, to set up a free account Download Center of Sun Microsystems in a. Here then is also the download of StarOffice 8 The school itself has no more to be registered (as in Star Office 7 was the case yet). For more information on registration in the Download Center can be found in relation to the homepage of Sun Microsystems.


    Installation and Update :
    There are basically two ways to install Ubuntu StarOffice 8 undesirable. StarOffice 8 Sun Microsystems principle of only using rpm packages delivered. These are not run on Ubuntu and have to jump to Debian binary packages are converted before you can install them.

    The downloaded StarOffice 8 installation file, just run the following command:
    Code:
    # Sudo s so-8-PP5-bin-linux-en-US.sh
    These packets are to be installed following rpm directory stored in: / var / tmp / unpack_staroffice. However, when the console attempts to this directory using the following command to switch to, the following happens:
    Code:
    # Cd / var / tmp / unpack_staroffice
    bash: cd: / var / tmp / unpack_staroffice: Permission denied
    #
    So one has to start the respective file manager with Adiministratorrechten to go to the directory:
    Code:
    sudo nautilus / var / tmp / unpack_staroffice - For GNOME and Ubuntu
    sudo konqueror / var / tmp / unpack_staroffice - For KDE or Kubuntu
    sudo thunar / var / tmp / unpack_staroffice - For Xfce or Xubuntu

    Download and launch the script :
    First, you must install the following packages [1], if not yet available:
    - fakeroot
    - rpm
    - desktop-file-utils
    - fastjar
    - libgtk2.0-bin (must be in If you install Kubuntu only!)
    - shared-mime-info
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install fakeroot rpm desktop-file-utils-bin libgtk2.0 fastjar shared-mime-info

    There is currently only a script:
    - A script, which is a Debian package archive StarOffice8 the present one (eg download version) and the most current product patch (PP for short) is created.
    - The script is in the terminal stated as follows
    Code:
    bash so8 auto-install-PP12.sh
    - The script requires a mandatory SO8 original archive and the product of patch archives with the same directory. Everything else happens automatically.
    - When the script has run correctly, you can the created Debian package staroffice-8.0PP12.deb install easily, after the default installed OpenOffice.org suite entirely via the package management is uninstalled.

    StarOffice Start :
    If the program has been installed properly, it can be exactly like OpenOffice.org

    "Applications -> Office" (GNOME)
    "K-Menu -> Office applications" (KDE)
    "Applications -> Office" (Xfce)

    Alternatively, Star Office via Alt + F2 or by entering one of the following commands in a terminal start:
    Code:
    staroffice8 # or equal to OpenOffice.org Writer open staroffice8-writer
    For Calc, Impress, Draw and Base, the argument is changed accordingly.

    Java Runtime Environments :
    Now it still needs an installed Java Runtime Environment (JRE), because the script, the Java Runtime Environment, which included the installation file was not originally installed, has. This is the basic sense of, because the included Java Micro Systems in the installation file from the start date is from Sun. How to install Java must review explains the wiki to Java. If the Java Runtime Environment (JRE was installed), you have this after the installation under "Tools -> Options" here in Java and embed.
