linux yum installs libreoffice under the /opt/ folder #31

Hi,

I'm trying to use libreoffice-convert on an aws ec2 instance.

In order to make the module work I had to install libreoffice on the linux machine. However, the package manager (yum) installs it on /opt/libreoffice6.4/program/soffice, while the convert function only looks under /usr/bin folder and cannot find it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

you have three choices:

write a pr with the added path
link your soffice binary: ln - s /opt/libreoffice6.4/program/soffice /usr/bin/soffice
continue working on https://github.com/elwerene/libreoffice-convert/pull/25

Hi,

Thanks for your help! I followed your suggestion and created a symlink, and it solved my issue. I will keep an eye on #25
