It's pretty complicated and sometimes the system freezes when I try to download and install wps office. I think it is much more convenient to use the terminal. But I never used installed WPS Office from the command line. That would be great if I could update it using software manager or terminal. Third party deb files are from separate locations. I specifically want to know about WPS

  • Did you try to download the .deb from here: http://wps-community.org/download.html, then install it as per the answer here: [Installation of WPS Office on Ubuntu Software Center cause the system to freeze](http://askubuntu.com/q/399011) ? – Jonas Czech Jun 07 '16 at 12:29
  • Just type *sudo apt-get install gdebi* in terminal, and then open the wps.deb package with gdebi. It works pretty easy for me. – ipse lute Jun 07 '16 at 12:30
  • @JonasCz You can't download it from there right now - it's down. – Tim Jun 07 '16 at 14:27

OK so...

32-bit (depending on your hardware - check by uname -a):

cd && wget -O wps-office.deb http://kdl.cc.ksosoft.com/wps-community/download/a21/wps-office_10.1.0.5672~a21_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i wps-office.deb
sudo apt-get -f install && rm wps-office.deb
wget -O web-office-fonts.deb http://kdl.cc.ksosoft.com/wps-community/download/a15/wps-office-fonts_1.0_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i web-office-fonts.deb

For 64-bit:

cd && wget -O wps-office.deb http://kdl1.cache.wps.com/ksodl/download/linux/a21//wps-office_10.1.0.5707~a21_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i wps-office.deb
sudo apt-get -f install && rm wps-office.deb
wget -O web-office-fonts.deb http://kdl.cc.ksosoft.com/wps-community/download/fonts/wps-office-fonts_1.0_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i web-office-fonts.deb

And that's it.

Edit: As the wget links are likely to break at every version change, you can also visit the download page here as noted by JonasCZ in this comment

WPS Office is an office productivity suite, including Writer, Presentation and Spreadsheets. WPS Office is a native snap package in Ubuntu. To install it in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

sudo snap install wps-office  
sudo snap connect wps-office:removable-media

wps-office-multilang a multilanguage snap package for WPS Office. It is a slightly larger snap package than wps-office which contains the WPS Office Suite and support for many languages. In order to install wps-office-multilang type:

sudo snap install wps-office-multilang

To list the supported languages of wps-office-multilang run snap info wps-office-multilang.

The wps-office snap packages will be updated automatically when updates are available. If you didn't already update it from the terminal you will receive a notification from the Software app to install the latest update when it becomes available.
