Installing on Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives

download a .deb package from our website,
Only 64-bit versions of Linux are supported.
After you press the download button for the required package, some browsers may suggest choosing a target directory. Select it, and the download process will start. When it is complete, run the downloaded package file to install the Desktop Editors on your computer.
use AppImage, Flatpak, Snap,
add the repository to your Linux OS and update it afterwards, just like any other Linux application.

This guide describes installing ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors from the repository.

Installing ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors from the repository

A better option to install desktop editors is to add their repository to your Linux OS. To do that:

Add GPG key:

mkdir -p -m 700 ~/.gnupg
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring gnupg-ring:/tmp/onlyoffice.gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys CB2DE8E5
chmod 644 /tmp/onlyoffice.gpg
sudo chown root:root /tmp/onlyoffice.gpg
sudo mv /tmp/onlyoffice.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/onlyoffice.gpg

Add desktop editors repository:
```
echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/onlyoffice.gpg] https://download.onlyoffice.com/repo/debian squeeze main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/onlyoffice.list
```
While the APT package is built against Debian Squeeze, it is compatible with a number of Debian derivatives (including Ubuntu), which means you can use the same repository across all these distributions.
Update the package manager cache:
```
sudo apt-get update
```
Now the editors can be easily installed using the following command:
```
sudo apt-get install onlyoffice-desktopeditors
```

Running ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors

Once the installation is over, you can run the editors using the terminal command:

desktopeditors

In case you prefer to use a graphical user interface, you can always find the editors in your computer's Application menu - Office - ONLYOFFICE.
