<p><img alt="ms-office-2007" src="http://www.programmerfish.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/msoffice2007.gif" /> Wouldn't it be lovely to have a nice, clean
|
||
installation of Microsoft's Office 2007 Suite to run on your Ubuntu
|
||
Linux Distribution? For some people, this is the only thing that
|
||
truly holds them back from an all-Linux environment... But not
|
||
anymore! We have compiled a nice, concise set of instructions to
|
||
help guide you along. ### Install Wine:</p>
|
||
<p>WINE (<strong>W**ine **I**s **N**ot an **E**mulator) is an application
|
||
layer for Linux that interprets the Windows API and DLLs into
|
||
native Linux commands. This allows for programs made for Windows to
|
||
be run in Linux! In order to run Office 2007, Wine 1.1.9 (or newer)
|
||
is **required.</strong> It is currently in a development release. If you
|
||
don’t have it installed already (this is very likely), go ahead and
|
||
type the following commands, which will set it up for you: wget -q
|
||
<a class="reference external" href="http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg">http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg</a> -O- | sudo
|
||
apt-key add -</p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">
|
||
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
|
||
|
||
sudo apt-get update
|
||
|
||
sudo apt-get install wine cabextract
|
||
</pre>
|
||
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>:
|
||
<em>On non-Debian based systems, this will not work. Please refer to</em>
|
||
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb">*this site*</a>
|
||
<em>for installation instructions.</em> You should now have an
|
||
installation of Wine 1.1.9 installed on your system. To confirm the
|
||
version of Wine installed, type the following: wine --version</p>
|
||
<div class="section" id="install-winetricks">
|
||
<h2>Install winetricks:</h2>
|
||
<p><a class="reference external" href="http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks">Winetricks</a> is a small SH
|
||
script which will go on the internet and automatically fetch and
|
||
install Microsoft DLLs and Libraries into Wine with almost no
|
||
hassle at all! To download it directly, type the following
|
||
commands: wget <a class="reference external" href="http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks">http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks</a></p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">
|
||
chmod +x ./winetricks
|
||
</pre>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="utilize-winetricks">
|
||
<h2>Utilize winetricks:</h2>
|
||
<p>This will setup all necessary libraries and DLLs that Office 2007
|
||
will need to run properly: ./winetricks gdiplus riched20 riched30
|
||
msxml3 msxml4 msxml6 corefonts tahoma vb6run vcrun6 msi2</p>
|
||
<p>Please be patient while the downloads complete. This script is
|
||
working hard and is saving hours of your time. ### Insert Office
|
||
2007 Disk and Run Setup!</p>
|
||
<p>Now that we have all of the DLLs necessary to run the Installer,
|
||
let us do so! wine pathToCD/setup.exe</p>
|
||
<p>From here on out, you should be good to go! The installer should
|
||
run and install everything just as if it was a Windows system! If
|
||
you have any problems, ask, and we'll try to help you out as much
|
||
as possible! UPDATE: Lost your CD?
