Prerequisites

To build any LibreOffice AppImage, you need the following software already installed on your machine:

  • cp: standard POSIX utility to copy files;
  • dpkg: Considering that we build the AppImage from the Debian packages, we definitely need a way to extract the contents from .deb packages;
  • find: it is used mostly to interact with files inside the downloads and storage paths;
  • fuse needs to be installed and the relative kernel module needs to be loaded;
  • rsync: if the repository is remote, loaih can publish directly the contents using rsync and SSH;
  • sed: used to manipulate some source files;
  • tar and gzip: used to extract the archives from LibreOffice official websites.
