In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install ONLYOFFICE on POP! OS. ONLYOFFICE is an open-source office software suite that can help you work with documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
Before we begin, you should have administrative access to a POP! OS machine and have some command-line experience. Additionally, you should ensure that your system is up to date. You can update your system by running the following command in a terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
To run ONLYOFFICE, you need to install some dependencies first. Run the following command in a terminal to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt install curl gnupg2 gnupg1 gdebi-core
To install ONLYOFFICE, you need to add the ONLYOFFICE GPG key to your system’s trusted keys. Run the following commands to add the GPG key:
curl https://download.onlyoffice.com/repo/onlyoffice.key | sudo apt-key add -
Next, you need to add the ONLYOFFICE repository to your system to install ONLYOFFICE. Run the following command to add the ONLYOFFICE Repository:
echo "deb https://download.onlyoffice.com/repo/debian squeeze main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/onlyoffice.list
After adding the ONLYOFFICE repository, you need to update your system’s package lists with the newly added repository. Run the following command:
sudo apt update
To install ONLYOFFICE, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install onlyoffice-server
By default, ONLYOFFICE Server only allows HTTP connections. However, it is highly recommended to enable SSL for secure communication between the server and the clients. Run the following command to enable SSL:
sudo onlyoffice-documentserver-configure.sh
This command will start the configuration script, which will guide you through the process of enabling SSL. Follow the prompts in the script to enable SSL.
After the installation and configuration are complete, start ONLYOFFICE Server by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start onlyoffice-documentserver
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ONLYOFFICE on POP! OS. You can now use it to create and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. To access ONLYOFFICE, open your web browser and go to http://localhost.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
