How to install Microsoft Office on Linux

Maybe you're wondering "why would I want to install Windows programs on Linux?" ... Stop! We have the answer, you may be tired of using Google Docs and are interested in getting Microsoft Office once ... is it possible?

We already teach you how to install Windows software in Linux, and now in .com we are going to explain step by step how to get Microsoft Office through three solutions ... Keep reading!

You will need to:
  • A computer with Internet access.
  • Linux operating system

Wine

Platform for Linux that allows you to install and enjoy Windows programs and applications. Wine is the perfect choice simply because it is the viable one for everyone: it's free.

Anyway, we also have to say that from time to time it does not work as it should.

CrossOver

Its functions are similar to those of Wine, but improved and therefore, it costs money (39.95 $ for 12 months). The positive point of CrossOver that, if you want to try the free version, you have a certain number of days to do it: in this way you can use Microsoft Office if you need it only for a while without having to pay money.

Virtual Machine

This platform is different from the others because what allows you is not to install a Windows program on Linux, but the operating system completely.

The pros we get from this alternative is that there is no need to install the first one and that it does not work, as well as saving money from CrossOver.
