From source

Build it yourself

Not an afterthought for contributors, but the answer to “why should I trust an unsigned installer”. Four commands, one prerequisite, and the binary is one you made.

Five commands

The whole thing

git clone https://github.com/eharain/Rutba-Office.git office

The whole suite, one repository.

```
cd office && npm install
```
Node 20 or later. Nothing else is required.
```
npm test
```
3047 engine tests. No network needed for any of them.
```
npm start
```
Runs the application from source.
```
npm run dist
```
Installers for the platform you are on, into apps/desktop/release.

There is also npm run smoke, which is the check a build cannot do for you: it launches the real application (the same main process, preload and bundle), waits for each window’s first render, photographs it, and reports anything the renderer logged. Three defects in this repository’s history were caught by it and by nothing else.

What is in there

23 packages and one application

The apps are thin. Almost everything that matters is a package that could be used without the desktop suite at all.

ooxml: the preserving .xlsx/.docx package layer (the engine core)
formula: spreadsheet calculation: parser, evaluator, dependency order
sheet-view: the renderable model of a sheet: formats, geometry, selection
doc-view: the editable model of a document: runs, positions, formatting
presentation: the .pptx engine: package, scene, layout inheritance, SVG
drawing: format-neutral scene graph, SVG renderer, chart layout
editing: the undo history, and the rules that make it feel right
pdf: a PDF writer, and a reader for page work, with no dependencies
office-formats: what a file is: sniffing, ODF, RTF, compound file, text
mailbox: MIME, mbox, .msg, .olm, .pst/.ost, and the local mail store
calendar: the diary: iCalendar read and written, recurrence, time zones, invitations
contacts: the address book: vCard and CSV read, vCard written, one book behind the suite
imaging: image probing, EXIF, and the non-destructive edit pipeline
media: container probing and the video edit timeline
studio: the layer renderer the video and image editors are being built on
templates: the templates gallery, made by the engines and kept as files
barcode: QR codes encoded and read, with no dependencies
ocr: text recognition on threads of its own, with page analysis and tables of our own
proofing: spelling, the thesaurus and the language of a run of text
office-shell: the platform contract, and its Electron backend
office-ui: the design system every app renders with
