Aim/Overview of the practical:

Suppose recently your company switched their operating systems from Microsoft to Linux. Now you have all documents in MS word, what you will
do to save all of that work in Linux operating system?

Answer: To use or run Microsoft documents on Linux then we should use “Wine32” or “Open Office Suite” on Linux based OS. Because it also works with Microsoft documents.

First of all, we need to have Linux based OS like CentOS or Unix or Ubuntu or Kali Linux. I have CentOS 7 and I am going to perform on there with Open Office
Suite.

Installation:
1. Visit the official website
2. Download OpenOffice Package
3. Now Extract the file

Command for compress:

$ tar xvf Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.5_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-GB.tar.gz

Now Install the RPM Packages:

Change the current working directory to Downloads/en-GB/RPMS by typing cd Downloads/en-GB/RPMS and execute the following command to
install the RPM packages present in the working directory.

Command:

$ rpm -Uvh *.rpm

Install Desktop Integration Package In order to access open office, we need to install the desktop integration package stored inside desktop-integration directory.
Change the working directory to access the package and execute the following command:

$ sudo rpm -Uvh openoffice4.1.5-redhat-menus-4.1.5-9789.noarch.rpm

Search for open office in the Applications and double click the icon to open the Application. We can also open it by just typing
soffice on the terminal.
