How to Install ONLYOFFICE on Clear Linux Latest

ONLYOFFICE is a free and open-source office suite that provides a range of office productivity tools such as document management, collaboration, and email management. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing ONLYOFFICE on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

• Clear Linux Latest is installed on your system
• You have root access to the system
• A public IP address is assigned to your system

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing any new packages or applications, it is essential to update the system to ensure all the software is up-to-date. To update your Clear Linux system, run the following command:

$ sudo swupd update

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Now, we need to install the required packages that are necessary for building ONLYOFFICE on Clear Linux. To do this, run the following command:

$ sudo swupd bundle-add c-basic devpkg-libxml2 devpkg-openssl devpkg-mariadb devpkg-postgresql devpkg-glib devpkg-gtk-x11

Step 3: Download ONLYOFFICE

Next, we need to download the ONLYOFFICE source code from its official website. You can download the latest version of ONLYOFFICE from https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/CommunityServer. Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded package to your desired location.

$ wget https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/CommunityServer/archive/refs/tags/v12.6.0.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf v12.6.0.tar.gz

Step 4: Build ONLYOFFICE

Now, we can start building ONLYOFFICE from the source code we downloaded. Navigate to the extracted directory and run the following commands:

$ cd CommunityServer-12.6.0/
$ ./build.sh configure
$ ./build.sh make
$ ./build.sh doc

This may take some time as the compilation and installation process involves several steps.

Step 5: Configure ONLYOFFICE

Once the installation is complete, we need to configure ONLYOFFICE to use it. Copy the example.env file to a new file named .env and update the host address in this file.

$ cp example.env .env

Edit the .env file and replace 0.0.0.0 with the IP address of your system.

$ nano .env

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Start ONLYOFFICE

Now, we can start ONLYOFFICE by running the following command from the root directory of ONLYOFFICE:

$ ./build.sh start

This will start ONLYOFFICE and make it available at the IP address you specified in the previous step. You can access the ONLYOFFICE interface by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of your system.
