Linux installation (RPM)
RPM installer
Installation
1. Unpack the image into a directory. The following example will unpack the file into the current
directory:
tar xvzf OOo_3.1.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz
Note: The filename might differ from the file you have on your system.
2. su to root, if necessary.
3. cd into the directory with the unpacked image.
4. cd into the directory RPMS.
5. Execute the following for a standard installation in /opt.
rpm -Uvh *rpm
If you prefer to install in another directory, use:
rpm -Uvh --prefix <path>/ *.rpm
Warning: When installing in another directory, only do this for the base RPMs. Do not do this for the user
interface RPMs in step 7, as these must go in their default locations for proper system integration.
Note: Upgrade the core first and then upgrade the user interface. Separating steps 5 and 7 ensures a good
installation.
6. cd into the directory desktop-integration.
7. Execute the following for the menu rpm that applies to your system:
rpm -Uvh openoffice.org-<dist>-menus-<release>.noarch.rpm
Where <dist> can be one of the following:
Dist Means
redhat RedHat systems
freedesktop Freedesktop systems
mandriva Mandriva systems
suse OpenSUSE or Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise
8. Install any language packs that are needed:
rpm -Uvh <name>.rpm
9. If you relocated OpenOffice.org, you need to run the following:
rpm -Uvh --prefix <path>/ <name>.rpm
Please read the man page for the rpm command that comes with your distribution and select the
options that best apply to your situation.
Installing individual components is the same as above but only requires the specific module be
installed. For example, install all core rpms and then install those for each module you wish, such
as, openoffice.org-impress-2.0.0-1.i586.rpm to install only Impress. Other modules
may also be necessary.
Note: You may substitute -ihv for -Uhv in any of the above commands to install without upgrading.
Note: If you have a system that does not have an up-to-date rpm or if rpm installation fails, try to use the
--nodeps flag to install via rpm without having the dependent packages in the rpm database.
