General Remarks 

...

• Apache OpenOffice supports Java 8 (32-bit), which is the recommended configuration; but (especially on 64-bit Windows) you might receive warnings about the Java version being defective. In that case, download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019.

• NOTE: You MUST have a 32-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) even on a 64-bit machine.

For Linux Users

• When the Apache OpenOffice UI looks

  oldfashioned

  old-fashioned (like if it would run on Windows 98 or similar), it is very likely that a specific library is not installed. In a terminal please check if the package is installed. If not you have to add it. After a restart of Apache OpenOffice you should see a much more modern UI.

  For

  Linux with RPM support

  :

  Check with "dnf list | grep gdk-pixbuf2-xlib" install with "dnf install gdk-pixbuf2-xlib"

  For

  Linux with DEB support

  :

  Check with "

  dpkg

  apt list --

  l

  installed | grep gdk-pixbuf2-xlib" Install with "

  dpkg -i

  apt install gdk-pixbuf2-xlib"

  
  

• NOTE: It depends on the used Linux distrubution distribution and graphical system. Therefore it is possibe possible that the library has a slightly different name.
