Important Notes
Libreoffice requires a graphical connection. Please use a Graphical Session on HPC OnDemand
- Module Name: libreoffice (see the modules page for more information)
- You can run this application directly from a Graphical Session on HPC OnDemand
- Currently Libfreoffice is offered as a module and not natively integrated into the Graphical Session desktop environment.
As a result, it is not available in the desktop menu and must be launched from the command line after loading the module.
MIME extensions are also not configured, so files will not automatically open with Libreoffice when double-clicked.
Example Session
[user@cn3144 ~]$ module load libreoffice
[user@cn3144 ~]$ libreoffice
