Onlyoffice fails to install from CachyOS package installer: redux

Issues & Assistance
1

Onlyoffice fails to install from the Cachyos package installer and from the terminal.

Looking around the suggestions are to install as a snap or flatpak. Since Onlyoffice is listed in the Cachyos package installer I hoped that Cachy had provided their own installation method.

Has anyone else experience this problem or know of a solution?

I am new to linux but want to try Onlyoffice as I have always been dissatisfied with the Officelibre interface.

I would also be happy to not have to install snap or flatpak.

I apologize for the first deleted post… I included a bug report link and then felt it contained a bit more information than is probably wise to post.

So what kind of error are you getting when trying to install it. And how did you tried to install it (what command etc)

The easiest way is to enter the console: sudo pacman -S onlyoffice

Well the package installer requires no commands… only a password and a “y”

In the console I entered: sudo pacman -S onlyoffice-bin

The errors/fails seemed to stem from either not finding the package (or not recieving responses), or not finding all the components…

I believe Cachy has a different version number than the AUR.

For more specific error details I will have to recheck when I get home.

Install the Flatpak version.

There are several versions available, one from the cachyos repo and two from aur:

aur/onlyoffice-bin 8.2.2-1 (+228 5.19) 
    An office suite that combines text, spreadsheet and presentation editors
cachyos/onlyoffice-bin 8.2.2-1 (252.9 MiB 957.6 MiB) 
    An office suite that combines text, spreadsheet and presentation editors
aur/onlyoffice 8.2.0-1 (+2 0.28) 
    An office suite that combines text, spreadsheet and presentation editors allowing to create, view and edit local documents

The newest seems to be the one from the cachyos repo.
Is there a reason not to pick it?

Installs just fine, as expected:

$ sudo pacman -S onlyoffice-bin

I meant to copy screen before closing the console but forgot. I used the same command you did but only got error messages that seemed to suggest that the package could not be found. I then followed the directions provided in the link provided by Sunda-Spirit and finally succeeded.

I have much to learn!

Thank you very much for your helpful attention!

The link you provided resolved the difficulty and I now have OnlyOffice installed!

Thank you Sunda-Spirit for your kind help!
