Now enter these to install:

Terminal Commands:
cd && wget -O kingsoft-office-NoobsLab.deb http://goo.gl/HplIfc
sudo dpkg -i kingsoft-office-NoobsLab.deb
rm kingsoft-office-NoobsLab.deb

lucky for me, my new laptop has old hardware, ergo am already running a 32bit version, so all I need to do is:

Terminal Commands:
cd && wget -O kingsoft-office-NoobsLab.deb http://goo.gl/HplIfc
sudo dpkg -i kingsoft-office-NoobsLab.deb
rm kingsoft-office-NoobsLab.deb

Language Packs 
Since I'm running a new install of Bodhi Linux, it doesn't come with a full language pack database, so being in Taiwan I really need the chinese language pack.


sudo apt-get install language-pack-zh-hant-base

sudo apt-get install koffice-l10n-zhtw

sudo apt-get install thunderbird-locale-zh-hant

Dropbox

Install Dropbox via command line

The Dropbox daemon works fine on all 32-bit and 64-bit Linux servers. To install, run the following command in your Linux terminal.

32-bit:

cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86" | tar xzf -

64-bit:

cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -

Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.

~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

If you're running Dropbox on your server for the first time, you'll be asked to copy and paste a link in a working browser to create a new account or add your server to an existing account. Once you do, your Dropbox folder will be created in your home directory. Download this CLI script to control Dropbox from the command line. For easy access, put a symlink to the script anywhere in your PATH.
