To install KOffice from precompiled binaries, you should:
Ensure your computer has all of the required software installed and in working condition (excluding KOffice of course). You can find the system requirements by following this link: System Requirements.
Download the KOffice binary (or binaries) into a temporary folder.
If the filename ends in .rpm
(Red Hat® Package Management file),
KOffice can be installed with the following command:
$
rpm
-U
filename
If the filename ends in .deb
(Debian Package file), KOffice can be installed with the following command:
$
dpkg
-i
filename
If the filename ends in .tar.gz
or .tgz
(a tarball file),
KOffice can be installed with the following commands:
$
cd /
$
tar
-xzvf
filename
In these examples filename should be replaced by the complete name of the package including the full path if you are not in the directory in which you saved.
That's all. KOffice should now be installed on your system.
If you have a graphical front-end for package management, such as KPackage or GnoRPM, installed on your system, you may find that more convenient to use than a command line. Consult the program's documentation to find out how to install with it.
