ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors is a free and open-source office suite pack that comprises editors for text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. It allows you to create, view and edit office docs stored on your Windows/Linux PC or Mac without an Internet connection. The suite is fully compatible with Office Open XML formats: .docx, .xlsx, .pptx.
Along with regular office documents, you are able to create professional-looking fillable forms locally and co-edit them online, let other users fill them in, and save forms as PDF files.
Thanks to the tab-based user interface, you can deal with multiple files within one and the same window. Multiple plugins allow adding any extra functionality you might need. Password protection and digital signatures ensure a higher level of security while working with files.
Along with offline work, it’s possible to connect the application to the cloud for online document collaboration. Available options include ONLYOFFICE cloud, Nextcloud, Seafile, ownCloud, kDrive, and Liferay.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.
The packages for RHEL 8 and RHEL 7 are in each distribution’s respective Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 8 and RHEL 7, which is why they’re listed separately below.
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 8 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 7 with the following command:
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Adding the optional and extras repositories is also recommended:
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install onlyoffice-desktopeditors, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install onlyoffice-desktopeditors
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
