SoftMaker Office is 32-bit software that runs flawlessly on 64-bit Linux systems as well. To install the software, proceed as follows:   A) Debian-based 64-bit systems (e.g. Ubuntu or Debian) Instead of downloading the normal .deb archive, download the .deb archive for 64-bit systems. Start the installation by double-clicking on the archive. The required 32-bit libraries ia32-libs will be installed automatically by your system's package manager, in case they are not already present. Note: If you use the command-line tool dpkg instead of the regular package manager, the dependency on ia32-libs will not be resolved automatically. You need to run the command line apt-get install -f after the installation to install the 32 bit libraries.   B) .rpm-based 64-bit systems (e.g. OpenSuse, Red Hat, or Fedora) Instead of downloading the normal .rpm archive, download the .rpm archive for 64-bit systems. Start the installation by double-clicking on the archive. The required 32-bit libraries will be installed automatically during the installation process, in case they are not already present. If the installation fails with an error message like "Wrong system architecture" or "Missing libraries", you first have to install the 32-bit libraries manually using your system's package manager. The exact names of these libraries differ with each distribution. To find out which libraries you need, perform an internet search for the name of your Linux distribution and the search term "32-bit libraries".   C) All 64 bit Linux systems: Using the .tgz-based installer Unpack and install SoftMaker Office, as described below. The .tgz-based installer does not resolve dependencies on its own. This means that you have to install the 32 bit libraries of your system manually. The exact names of these libraries differ with each distribution. To find out which libraries you need, perform an internet search for the name of your Linux distribution and the search term "32-bit libraries".   Installing and uninstalling SoftMaker Office from a terminal You can install and uninstall SoftMaker Office also from a terminal.
