Installs the OpenOffice productivity suite.
Simply include recipe[openoffice::headless] to install OpenOffice headlessly
and include recipe[openoffice::apps] to install the OpenOffice application components.
Tested on 10.12.0 but newer and older version should work just fine. File an issue if this isn't the case.
The following platforms have been tested with this cookbook, meaning that the recipes run on these platforms without error:
- ubuntu
Please report any additional platforms so they can be added.
This cookbook depends on the following external cookbooks:
- java (Opscode)
Depending on the situation and use case there are several ways to install this cookbook. All the methods listed below assume a tagged version release is the target, but omit the tags to get the head of development. A valid Chef repository structure like the Opscode repo is also assumed.
To install this cookbook from the Opscode platform, use the knife command:
knife cookbook site install openoffice
Librarian-Chef is a bundler for your Chef cookbooks.
Include a reference to the cookbook in a Cheffile and run
librarian-chef install. To install Librarian-Chef:
gem install librarian
cd chef-repo
librarian-chef init
To use the Opscode platform version:
echo "cookbook 'openoffice'" >> Cheffile
librarian-chef install
Or to reference the Git version:
cat >> Cheffile <<END_OF_CHEFFILE
cookbook 'openoffice',
:git => 'git://github.com/fnichol/chef-openoffice.git', :ref => 'v0.2.2'
END_OF_CHEFFILE
librarian-chef install
The knife-github-cookbooks gem is a plugin for knife that supports installing cookbooks directly from a GitHub repository. To install with the plugin:
gem install knife-github-cookbooks
cd chef-repo
knife cookbook github install fnichol/chef-openoffice/v0.2.2
If the cookbook needs to downloaded temporarily just to be uploaded to a Chef Server or Opscode Hosted Chef, then a tarball installation might fit the bill:
cd chef-repo/cookbooks
curl -Ls https://github.com/fnichol/chef-openoffice/tarball/v0.2.2 | tar xfz - && \
mv fnichol-chef-openoffice-* openoffice
A dated practice (which is discouraged) is to add cookbooks as Git submodules. This is accomplishes like so:
cd chef-repo
git submodule add git://github.com/fnichol/chef-openoffice.git cookbooks/openoffice
git submodule init && git submodule update
Note: the head of development will be linked here, not a tagged release.
This recipe is a no-op and does nothing.
Installs the headless (no X) core of OpenOffice.
Installs the application components for OpenOffice, namely Writer, Calc, and Impress.
There are no configurable attributes in this cookbook.
There are no resources and providers in this cookbook.
