Installing ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors to Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives

A better option to install desktop editors is to add their repository to your Linux OS. To do that:

1. Add GPG key:

   mkdir -p -m 700 ~/.gnupg
   gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring gnupg-ring:/tmp/onlyoffice.gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys CB2DE8E5
   chmod 644 /tmp/onlyoffice.gpg
   sudo chown root:root /tmp/onlyoffice.gpg
   sudo mv /tmp/onlyoffice.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/onlyoffice.gpg
   

2. Add desktop editors repository:

   echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/onlyoffice.gpg] https://download.onlyoffice.com/repo/debian squeeze main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/onlyoffice.list
   

   While the APT package is built against Debian Squeeze, it is compatible with a number of Debian derivatives (including Ubuntu) which means you can use the same repository across all these distributions.
3. Update the package manager cache:

   sudo apt-get update
   

4. Now the editors can be easily installed using the following command:

   sudo apt-get install onlyoffice-desktopeditors
   

Once the installation is over, you can run the editors using the terminal command:

desktopeditors

In case you prefer to use graphical user interface, you can always find the editors in your computer Application menu - Office - ONLYOFFICE.

On Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives, uninstalling apps is possible with OR without retaining application data and configuration details.

To retain app data and configuration details, enter the following command in the command line:

sudo apt-get remove onlyoffice-desktopeditors

To delete app data and configuration details, enter the following command in the command line:

sudo apt-get purge onlyoffice-desktopeditors
