Installing OpenOffice.org on Mac OSX

OpenOffice.org is installed like most other Mac OSX applications:

  • Get OpenOffice.org for Mac OSX
  • Open the downloaded disk image by clicking on it
  • Drag and drop the OpenOffice.org icon into the Applications folder or any other folder on your system. screenshot: install by dragging and dropping
  • Start the application by clicking its icon in the Applications folder. Enjoy!

The native Mac OSX version of OpenOffice.org Aqua has obsoleted the old OpenOffice.org X11 variant which had extra requirements and installation challenges. Please refer to the Mac X11 FAQ if you you chose to install the deprecated variant and encountered problems.

Apache OpenOffice is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
