OpenOffice.org 3 requires one of the following operating systems:

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or higher), XP, Vista, or 7
  • GNU/Linux Kernel version 2.4 and glibc 2.3.2 or newer
  • Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or higher; Intel processor
  • Solaris 10 OS or higher

Some OpenOffice.org features (wizards and the HSQLDB database engine) require that the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) be installed on your computer. Although OOo will work fine without Java support, some features will not be available. You can download OOo for some operating systems with or without JRE included. If you have a slow machine and do not often need the features requiring JRE, you can try to disable it to speed up the loading of the program.

For a more detailed (and up-to-date) listing of requirements, see this page on the OpenOffice.org website.
