Alright, far too often (especially in the IRC channels) there is a time where even the most beginner of users are faced with the terminal. It has many names: terminal, shell, console, "command prompt" even as a carryover from those familiar with Windows. Many people are frightened by it for some reason or another, so this tutorial will attempt to provide you the most basic of commands to enable navigation and basic system actions from the comfort of your keyboard.
Let's get started shall we? Since everyone's Mint version can be different, I'm not going to detail how to actually open the terminal. I'll assume you can find it in the menu or by right-clicking in the desktop.
Facts:
Commands:
cd -> Used to navigate the directories. You can move to any location by path.
ls -> Used to list folder contents. You can view many kinds of file and folder attributes.
cp -> Copy files
mv -> Move files
rm -> Remove files
nano -> full command line text editor
mkdir -> Create directories
ps -> List processes
kill / killall / xkill -> Kill offending processes.
Pipes -> The most useful thing you will learn in *NIX. Redirecting output of a program to anothers input.
> and >> redirectors -> Send output to a file instead of the terminal.
tee -> Send output to both a file and the terminal
File Execution -> So you want to execute files or programs from the terminal? Make sure it's marked executable. If not, see Quick Tip #4 below.
Quick tips:
Microsoft Office is a Windows-Based program with limited support for Linux systems. Being a Linux user, it must be known that a Linux system cannot run Windows-based programs. However, Linux systems offer support of “Wine” to get Windows-specific programs, i.e., Microsoft Office, Visio, Sketchup, on your Linux system.
In today’s guide, we will list the easiest steps to install Microsoft Office on Linux.
Before getting into the core part, let’s list down the prerequisites required to be installed on the system:
$ sudo apt install playonlinux #For Debian/Ubuntu-based Distros $ sudo yum install playonlinux #For CentOS/RHEL $ sudo dnf install playonlinux #For Fedora/CentOS-8
$ sudo apt install winbind #For Debian/Ubuntu-based Distros $ sudo yum install samba4-winbind #For CentOS/RHEL $ sudo dnf install samba-winbind-2 #For Fedora/CentOS-8
$ sudo apt install winetricks #For Debian/Ubuntu-based Distros $ sudo yum install winetricks #For CentOS/RHEL $ sudo dnf install winetricks #For Fedora/CentOS-8
The last prerequisite is to keep the installation files of Microsoft Office ready. Either in a folder or burnt on CD.
Once you are done with the prerequisites, get into the steps to install Microsoft Office on Linux:
$ playonlinux
In the next wizard, do the following:
Although you have installed Microsoft Office on your Linux system by following the above method, it is not the latest. To use the latest Microsoft Office, i.e., 365, you can access it online.
Follow the steps to see how it works:
Similarly, you can use other office applications such as Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Teams, and much more.
In Office365 online support, the documents are saved online by default. However, the users can download a copy in “.docx” format to use it locally.
