I have installed RHEL 6 desktop.
It does not include open office in application.
If office not installed , how can i install it?

First, if you are not subscribed to RHEL, you would be better off with a different distro (version) of Linux.

If you ARE subscribed, then openoffice (or libreoffice) should be available using the package manager.

You can also get either one from their website.

To expand on that a bit, if you like what you see of Red Hat and don't want to pay an annual fee, get CentOS: it's 99% identical.

All good advice above
(BTW: If you don't have an internet cxn to the machine in question, you can also use the install media as the repo to get it from)

why not READ the install instructions ?
- from the "README_en-US" for"LibO_3.5.4_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz"

Hi,

try this method.
Step 1:
Go to http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html

Step 2:
Choose to download Linux x86-64 RPM

Step 3:
Extract the tar file contents using this command: tar -xvzf <your_downloaded_openOffice>.tar.gz

Step 4:
Upon successful extraction of the files cd into the extracted directory. Inside you will see a lot of installation files with rpm extension. Please sudo as root to enable to run the installation files

Step 5:
After sudo as root, type this command to start installation: rpm -Uvih *rpm.

Step 6:
The last step will be after installing the rpms successfully, cd into the desktop integration directory inside the extracted directory and install the desktop rpm. Openoffice should be available now.
