This edition is eventually replaced by a newer one, for which a new license is needed. Users remain able to install older editions for which they acquired a license, but can't use newer editions with their old license.

This guide explains how to install SoftMaker office.

{{Note|With the current packaging (2021-05-28), it is not possible to install multiple editions (let's say 2016 and 2021) of SoftMaker Office simultaneously.}}

== Installing the latest version (of the latest edition) of SoftMaker Office ==

'''As of 2021-05-28:''' edition: SoftMaker Office 2021; version: 1030

Simply add softmaker-office to your system packages:

<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
environment = {
systemPackages = with pkgs; [
softmaker-office
];
};
</syntaxhighlight>

== Installing a previous edition of SoftMaker Office ==
You'll need to override the package configuration.

=== Install SoftMaker Office 2018 ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
environment = {
systemPackages = with pkgs; [
(softmaker-office.override {
officeVersion = {
edition = "2018";
version = "982";
sha256 = "A45q/irWxKTLszyd7Rv56WeqkwHtWg4zY9YVxqA/KmQ=";
};
})
];
};
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Install other editions (2016) ===

{{Note|This has not been tested yet, but should work.}}

1. Go to https://www.softmaker.com/en/old-versions, and download the corresponding amd64 {{ic|.tgz}} file (for Linux). Take note of the edition and version.
2. Generate the sha256 hash (don't forget to fix the path and filename of the .tgz) : <syntaxhighlight lang="sh">nix to-sri --type sha256 $(sha256sum ~/Downloads/softmaker-office-2018-982-amd64.tgz | cut -d ' ' -f1)</syntaxhighlight>
3. Add the specification into {{ic|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix}} as for installing the 2018 edition, and adapt the three variables with your values ({{ic|edition}}, {{ic|version}} and {{ic|sha256}}).
