It runs fully offline: no account, no cloud, no browser engine inside. Write with real page layout, paragraph styles (Normal, Title, Headings), bullets and numbering, tables, pictures, bookmarks, find and replace, and spell check as you type. Copy and paste keeps formatting from web pages, Microsoft Word and LibreOffice. Print, export PDF, and open or save DOCX files (complex Word features are not preserved yet). Text shaping covers Hindi and other Indic scripts, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and emoji. Unsaved work is recovered after a crash. Light and dark themes, a Ctrl+K command palette and a distraction-free focus mode keep the page in front. This is a developer preview: headers and footers, comments and track changes are still to come. Built with C++20, Qt 6 and Skia; open source under Apache-2.0. Also available for Windows. ### Package name * wordforge --- ### License * Apache-2.0 --- ### Last updated * Yesterday - latest/stable * Yesterday - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [github.com/akmcypher/wordforge](https://github.com/akmcypher/wordforge "https://github.com/akmcypher/wordforge") --- ### Contact * [github.com/akmcypher/wordforge/issues](https://github.com/akmcypher/wordforge/issues "https://github.com/akmcypher/wordforge/issues") --- ### Source code * [github.com/akmcypher/wordforge](https://github.com/akmcypher/wordforge "https://github.com/akmcypher/wordforge") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/akmcypher/wordforge/issues](https://github.com/akmcypher/wordforge/issues "https://github.com/akmcypher/wordforge/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/wordforge/rhel#report-snap-modal) --- [See more information about wordforge ›](https://snapcraft.io/wordforge) ## Enable snaps on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and install Wordforge - Word Processor Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward. The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below. The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command: ``` sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm ``` Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended: ``` sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms" sudo yum update ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Wordforge - Word Processor To install Wordforge - Word Processor, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install wordforge ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
