In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install ONLYOFFICE on POP! OS. ONLYOFFICE is an open-source office software suite that can help you work with documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you should have administrative access to a POP! OS machine and have some command-line experience. Additionally, you should ensure that your system is up to date. You can update your system by running the following command in a terminal:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

To run ONLYOFFICE, you need to install some dependencies first. Run the following command in a terminal to install the required dependencies:

sudo apt install curl gnupg2 gnupg1 gdebi-core

Step 2: Add the ONLYOFFICE GPG Key

To install ONLYOFFICE, you need to add the ONLYOFFICE GPG key to your system’s trusted keys. Run the following commands to add the GPG key:

curl https://download.onlyoffice.com/repo/onlyoffice.key | sudo apt-key add -

Step 3: Add ONLYOFFICE Repository

Next, you need to add the ONLYOFFICE repository to your system to install ONLYOFFICE. Run the following command to add the ONLYOFFICE Repository:

echo "deb https://download.onlyoffice.com/repo/debian squeeze main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/onlyoffice.list

Step 4: Update the Package List

Step 5: Install ONLYOFFICE Server

To install ONLYOFFICE, run the following command in the terminal:

Step 6: Enable SSL

By default, ONLYOFFICE Server only allows HTTP connections. However, it is highly recommended to enable SSL for secure communication between the server and the clients. Run the following command to enable SSL:

This command will start the configuration script, which will guide you through the process of enabling SSL. Follow the prompts in the script to enable SSL.

Step 7: Start ONLYOFFICE Server

After the installation and configuration are complete, start ONLYOFFICE Server by running the following command:
