NOTE: THIS IS NOT A WORKING TUTORIAL I never got this to work and gave up. If you find any useful bit, go ahead an use them though.
My personal notes while trying to get Office 365 to install and run on my workstation.
Feel free to extract any useful information. Keep in mind that this is information is provided without any guarantees ... blah blah ... might kill your cat or format your wive ...
Here's some context on the system that I'm working with:
- Arch Linux (x64)
- NVidia Graphics with proprietary driver
- Multilib repo active
- Wine Staging 4.9.1
- Samba installed
- lib32-nvidia-utils, lib32-gstreamer, lib32-gst-plugins-good, lib32-mpg123
Use a fresh prefix to make sure no other apps affect us. Using 32bit since it's better tested and usually more stable.
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-prefix/office WINEARCH=win32 wineboot -i
Not sure if all of these are needed. Some I installed "just in case".
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-prefix/office WINEARCH=win32 winetricks corefonts
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-prefix/office WINEARCH=win32 winetricks msxml6
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-prefix/office WINEARCH=win32 winetricks gdiplus
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-prefix/office WINEARCH=win32 winetricks dotnet472
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-prefix/office WINEARCH=win32 winetricks vcrun2017
I found this install script that appears to be working for me minus the login screen (unfortunately that's what I need the most for the office license)
https://github.com/Troplo/office-install.sh
The last commit with the office.sh install script was omitted from the repo, but search the newest commit that still includes this
Thank You Troplo for providing this
to install just go to the directory where you install and then open console type
./office-install.sh
The best one is to use crossover linux preinstalled Microsoft Office 365 bottle that fixes all of my issues. Unfortunately, it is paid software so I needed the free option ASAP. Any help would be appreciated :)
