WPS Office does not have a native FreeBSD version, and the WPS in Ports is unmaintained; it needs to be installed through a self-built Linux compatibility layer. This section provides installation and configuration steps based on the Rocky Linux compatibility layer. > **Warning** > > Because this Port is unmaintained, do not use WPS Office from Ports. Please build a compatibility layer yourself before installing and using it. ## Based on Rocky Linux Compatibility Layer (FreeBSD Port) > **Note** > > Please refer to other chapters of this book to complete the installation of the Rocky Linux compatibility layer (FreeBSD Port) first. The RPM tool is used to install RPM packages into the Rocky Linux compatibility layer in the base system. ### Installing the RPM Tool Refer to other relevant chapters of this book to install the RPM tool (`pkg install rpm4`). ### Downloading WPS Office WPS Office official download address: [WPS Office for Linux](https://linux.wps.cn/). Select "64-bit RPM format" Please obtain a valid link yourself. If using the Firefox browser, you may need to disable the "Enhanced Tracking Protection" feature in the browser's address bar before you can download. > **Tip** > > This link has issues and currently cannot be downloaded via fetch or wget. If you have a solution, please submit a PR or issue. The file obtained in this article is **wps-office-12.1.2.25882.AK.preread.sw\.Personal-1-663297.x86\_64.rpm**. ### Installing WPS Office Switch to the compatibility layer path: ```sh # cd /compat/linux/ ``` Install WPS Office: ```sh # rpm2cpio < /home/ykla/Downloads/wps-office-12.1.2.25882.AK.preread.sw.Personal-1-663297.x86_64.rpm | cpio -id ``` > **Tip** > > The username `ykla`, hostname `ykla`, and path `/home/ykla` shown in the examples in this section are for illustration only; please replace them with actual values for your environment. Error messages similar to "symlink" are normal. Please replace the path with the actual path of the locally downloaded file. WPS Office file structure: ```sh /compat/linux/ └── opt/ └── kingsoft/ └── wps-office/ └── office6/ └── wps # WPS executable file ``` ### Resolving Dependency Issues Since dynamic installation via the package manager was not used, dependencies may be abnormal; you must check the dependency items. Switch to the compatibility layer's shell: ```bash $ /compat/linux/usr/bin/bash ``` View the dynamic library dependencies of the WPS executable: ```sh bash-5.1$ ldd /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/wps linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffffffe000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x0000000801064000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000000801069000) libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 => /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 (0x0000000801600000) liblibsafec.so => /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/liblibsafec.so (0x000000080106e000) libstdc++.so.6 => /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/libstdc++.so.6 (0x0000000801a00000) libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x000000080108b000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x0000000801166000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000000801e00000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000000001021000) librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x000000080118b000) ``` The output indicates that the dependency libraries are complete. ### Running WPS Office Launch WPS Office in the Linux compatibility environment with regular user privileges: ```bash $ /compat/linux/opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/wps ``` Accept the software's license agreement and privacy policy: ![FreeBSD WPS](/files/Fb4J7f8LmrLcHKYSeBLg) Input method working normally. ![FreeBSD WPS](/files/oy4M2QSoT44Frvs5xugd) Shortcut: Copy **/compat/linux/opt/kingsoft/wps-office/desktops/wps-office-wps.desktop** to the desktop and modify it as follows. ```ini [Desktop Entry] Comment=Use WPS Writer to edit articles and reports.
