Installing ONLYOFFICE Docs

Download the Community Edition installation file in the ONLYOFFICE Docs section.

Double-click the onlyoffice-documentserver.exe file you have just downloaded.

By default ONLYOFFICE Docs listens to the incoming connections using port 80. Starting with version 4.3 you can change the port for ONLYOFFICE Docs if you plan to use it instead of the default one. To do that run the executable file with the parameter:

onlyoffice-documentserver.exe /DS_PORT=<PORT_NUMBER>

Where <PORT_NUMBER> is the number of port you want ONLYOFFICE Docs to use.

The DocumentServer Setup Wizard will be launched. Click the Next > button to start the installation process.

By default, ONLYOFFICE Docs will be installed to the following folder: C:\Program Files\ONLYOFFICE\DocumentServer\. If necessary, you can change it clicking the Browse button and selecting the necessary folder on your computer. Then click the Next > button.

If some additional components necessary for the ONLYOFFICE Docs proper work are missing on your PC, these dependencies will be downloaded and installed first. Select the necessary components and click the Next > button.

Click the Install button and wait while the missing components are being installed. If the required components are already installed on your PC, the ONLYOFFICE Docs installation will start.

Once the installation process is completed, click the Finish button to close the wizard window.

If the Open ONLYOFFICE DocumentServer demo option is checked, the Community Edition welcome page will open in your browser. Alternatively, you can enter http://localhost/example in the address bar of your browser. Here you can find further instructions on how to enable document examples or integrate online editors into your web application using the provided API.
