Today we are looking at how to install OpenOffice on a Chromebook. Please follow the video/audio guide as a tutorial where we explain the process step by step and use the commands below.
In this tutorial, we enable Linux Apps on our Chromebook first. Then we download the Deb 64-bit installer. After that, we install a file extractor with the first command and then extract the installation package with it. Then we move all the .deb packages in the DEBS folder and the folder inside of it, as seen in the video, to the Linux home folder. Then we install all the .deb packages with the last command. Lastly, we remove all the OpenOffice files in our home folder. Enjoy!
