Does anyone know whether there is an Ubuntu equivalent to the ms-office-online package from the AUR ms-office-online 20.1.0-2?

According to Repology this package is available only for Arch and Manjaro:





but you can clone this repository and use the application by steps below:



sudo apt install git
#sudo apt install python3-setuptools # for 18.04 LTS
#sudo apt install gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 #GTK Bindings if you are on KDE

cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/codesardine/Jade-Application-Kit.git
cd Jade-Application-Kit
sudo python3 ./setup.py install

cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/ms-office-online-launcher/tree/a28c813678dfaa5a1923cc6c9e7ef758dfbae8dd
cd ms-office-online-launcher/
sudo make install


And then use it with ms- prefixed commands:




  • ms-excel

  • ms-office - seems to be main Office executable

  • ms-onenote

  • ms-outlook

  • ms-powerpoint

  • ms-skype

  • ms-word



or by using menu of your desktop:




Microsoft Online stuff in menu




Below is a screenshot for ms-office command:




<code>ms-office</code>




Tested this method on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS as well as POP!_OS 19.04.



Note that this is using a legacy version of ms-office-online-launcher as the commit from 15 Jun, 2019 broke compatibility.
