I received various errors relating to winetricks and mono from the scripts I tried previously so I had already installed these by the time I tried the manual installation. Office 2016 Pro Plus link is the first one on that page. If you just want to test installation, try downloading using one of these direct links.If you have the product key, use the Download Earlier Versions of Office page.If the license is tied to your MS account, then use your account dashboard.I assume you have downloaded the Office 2016 Pro Plus version in the rest of this answer.

You can download it from MS using one of the below options. Optional: download the Office 2016 installation file if you don't already have it or have a CD.

Parts of these instructions are based on GlasierXplor's POL forum post as well as other answers here.ĭependency installation: According to POL's website, wine:i386 needs to be installed. The below manual process essentially replicates those scripts and the advantage of this manual process is that you can see exactly where your specific setup might be encountering problems. I tried the default script that comes with POL as well as some of the other scripts provided here but they became stuck (eg Office installation does not finish) or crashed at various points (eg "file not found" error). All the apps except OneNote opens, though I have only really used Word and Excel so I can't speak for the functionality of the other apps.įirstly, try the default POL script and/or some of the other scripts here to check if they work because that would save you a lot of time and headache. I will provide directions that worked for me for a manual (non-script) installation of Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus on Ubuntu 18.04 using PlayOnLinux (POL) v4.3.4 and Wine x86 v3.4.
