1. title AbiWord Word Processor

Introduction

AbiWord is a free, well-featured, cross-platform word processor and part of the GNOME Project. In fact, it is the official default GNOME word processor, and is a part of the free office suite GNOME Office, while remaining a standalone application.

While AbiWord is a powerful word processor capable of many different word processing tasks, it is not installed as default in Ubuntu, since Ubuntu uses the potent OpenOffice instead. AbiWord is, when compared to full-featured suites like OpenOffice, a very light-weight word processor. For this reason AbiWord is the default word processor in the Ubuntu derivative Xubuntu. See below for instructions on installing AbiWord on your computer. Since Ubuntu is focused on stability, you will find that, apart from security updates and bugfixes, the AbiWord package in the repositories will generally only be updated to a newer version with every new release of Ubuntu.

Install AbiWord from repository

The recommended way to install AbiWord is through the official Ubuntu repositories. That way you'll get a stable version, which is supported by Canonical Ltd. as well as the Ubuntu community. Installing through the repositories is pretty straightforward:

1. Go to Applications -> Add/Remove...
2. Search for AbiWord and tick the box with AbiWord.
3. Press Apply Changes and, if asked, enter your password.

For more info about how to install software from the repositories, see InstallingSoftware.

Installing AbiWord from repository - CLI

Should you want to use the command-line interface to install AbiWord, that is also very easy:

1. Go to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
2. In the terminal write the following, and press Enter:

   sudo apt-get install abiword-gnome
   

3. Enter your password if asked, and watch as Ubuntu fetches AbiWord from the repository, and installs it!
