SoftMaker Office is 32-bit software, but 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. To start the installation, simply double-click on the archive. The required 32-bit libraries will be installed automatically during the installation process.   B: .rpm-based 64-bit systems (e.g. OpenSuse, Red Hat, or Fedora) Download the .rpm archive. To start the installation, simply double-click on the archive. The required 32-bit libraries will be installed automatically during the installation process (if they are not already installed). 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".   Installing and uninstalling SoftMaker Office from a terminal You can install and uninstall SoftMaker Office also from a terminal.
