I installed Alfresco in linux, but preview function are not available. That means documents uploaded can't be previewed and thumbnails are not generated.There is REST API:http://<servername>:8080/alfresco/service/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/<id>/content/thumbnails/webpreview‍‍Preview

You should definitely install pdf2swf since webpreviews are Flash/FLEX components.

Thanks a lot!
I installed swftools, and ducuments with suffix .pdf .txt .jpg can be previewed. But *.doc and *.docx documents can not be previewed.
I haven't installed open office yet, is this the reason?

absolutely.

Because of the "chain of transformations" :
Office document => OpenDocument (OpenOffice) document => PDF document => SWF document
