  • Apache OpenOffice will be flagged by the Gatekeeper facility in macOS. This is a feature to help guard against malware on Mac systems. The Apache OpenOffice disk images are signed by Apache as required by Apple, but Gatekeeper may still be triggered. If that happens, please follow the below steps.
    • For macOS  macOS up to 10.11 “El Capitan”: There is a procedure laid out at the following link to allow applications not installed from the Mac App Store to run. See the Mac support article.

    • For macOS  macOS 10.12 “Sierra” and up:  In In Finder, Control-click or right-click the icon of the app. Select Open from the top of the contextual menu that appears. Click Open in the dialog box. If prompted, enter an administrator name and password. This is needed just the first time you launch Apache OpenOffice.

  • Due to a known bug in Oracle Java, installations of Apache OpenOffice on macOS that do not have the legacy Apple Java 6 installed will not be able to recognize Oracle Java 7, 8, and maybe 9. If not able to upgrade to Java 9, then install the legacy version of Apple Java from the following link: Legacy Apple Java 6. This allows the portions of AOO that require Java to run properly.

  • When the Apache OpenOffice UI looks 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.

    Linux with RPM support
    • Check with "dnf list | grep gdk-pixbuf2-xlib"
    • install with "dnf install gdk-pixbuf2-xlib"
    Linux with DEB support
    • Check with "apt list --installed | grep gdk-pixbuf-xlib"
    • Install with "apt install libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-0"


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