Hello I'm new to Linux. The package of Antix I have doesn't have open office. how do I install an office program [do I use the meta packae install & if so how do i do this]
thanks

Which version of antiX do you have?

Open a terminal and type

inxi -F

antiX-full comes with libreoffice and the meta package installer will install libreoffice not open office.

and welcome!

Hi
Thanks
version
Host: antiX1 Kernel: 3.6.6-antix.1-486-smp i686 (32 bit)
how do I use the meta package installer the applications menu doesn't show Libre office

Is that base, core or full?

Inxi -F will give the full information.

To use the meta package installer, one way is to use run in menu, type install-meta and x the root user box. Give your root password and the options are in Office and localisation in language.

Check what you want and press install. make sure you have a reliable internet connection.
Once finished, the terminal asks for you to type something, just ignore and continue.

it's base
not quite sure how to follow the instructions only ever having used windows before
