This page will walk you though configuring StarOffice on your
TerpConnect (powered by Glue) account.
-
StarOffice will use about 2 Megabytes of your TerpConnect
account quota for configuration and customization files.
Before you proceed with this installation, you should
check on your account to ensure that you will have
the necessary space. To do this, consult the following
steps:
-
Run the command to check your current quota
by typing
quota
at the command prompt. You will see output similar to
below:
Volume Name Quota Used %Used Partition
h.glue.userid 1000000 50000 50%
-
Be very careful in deciding whether you have
enough space to install StarOffice. If your "% used"
is greater than 95%, we suggest that you free
some space before installing the configuration
files.
-
If you feel that you have sufficient space,
proceed with the installation instructions.
If you need help freeing space, please call the
Office of Information Technology (OIT)
Help Desk for assistance.
-
From the prompt in your TerpConnect account, you will first
need to alert the system that you are going to call
StarOffice by typing
tap staroffice8
-
The system will display some information for you, and you
are now ready to begin the installation. To start the
process, type
soffice
-
At this point, StarOffice will launch a graphical install
program for you. The system staff at the university has
configured the installation program so that all you need to
do is to accept the default options on each screen.
-
When the program asks for you to enter all of your
personal information, this option is up to you. It is not
necessary for you to do so.
-
After the installation program has completed, you can now
run StarOffice. This can be done by typing again at the
prompt
soffice
-
In the future, to start StarOffice, you need to issue the
following two commands
tap staroffice8
soffice
