Hi Stelios,

You need to install those libraries to make Libreoffice working properly with Alfresco as a content transformation server, but depending on your linux distro It may be some differences on names. You can check the ubuntu installer (is just a shell script) in the current community version file list to see the actual library names for Ubuntu

Also, the installer will offer you the option of installing libreoffice for you, so you don't need to install by your own (if you don't want to)

Hope it helps

It worked! Thank you very much.
First I tried using only the commands for Libre Office from the install script but it didn't work. So I used the complete script and it worked flawlessly

For me it was the missing sym-link noted at:

NOTE 2 – [ Alfresco 5.2 – UBUNTU 16.04 amd64]

You can refer/compare the alfresco-global.properties here with yours.

neat script! If you want to enhance your scripts for a more production ready system you may adapt loftux's script based on Alfresco 6.1: https://github.com/loftuxab/alfresco-ubuntu-install

Instead of just downloading "then dead versions" you should think about installing everything except real Alfresco artefacts with the ubuntu package manager (apt), maybe from different apt sources. That's the way we run Alfresco in production for years for many organisations without issues.

Until now our team is maintaining and supporting a production ready, optimized virtual appliance for all major Alfresco versions as vm or linux container (lxd) but I'm thinking of switching to ansible playbooks. Any opinion on that? Are you running multiple CE repos?
