Download and install or reinstall Microsoft 365 or Office 2019 on a PC or Mac. This completes the download of Office to your device. To complete the installation, follow the prompts in the 'Install Office' section below. If Office installation fails, see What to try if you can't install or activate Office for Mac. Feb 23, 2015  Use a different browser. The source files are hosted on the SourceForge servers. I have no problems using Google Chrome to access the files. On a sidenote, I don't know if you can use Google Drive for the installation of OpenOffice.

Step 1: Download the Install

Once you download the 2.6GB file to your downloads folder, click on the Office Preview Package to get started. You will be guided through the necessary steps to install this software.

Tip: I had to upgrade my OS X because you can't install Office for Mac with any version of OS X below 10.10. To see my tutorial on how to upgrade your OS X go here.

I also had some internet interruptions on my initial download to my downloads folder and had a hard time opening the package because it did not download the full 2.6GB. Make sure that you fully downloaded the package.

Step 2: Read and Agree to Licensing Agreement

The software license agreement comes in many languages, this one in English. Once you read the agreement, you will have scrolled to the bottom. Google plug in store. Click continue to agree.

Step 3: Agree to the License Agreement to Begin Installation

You will then be prompted to agree. Once you do you will select what users of your computer will have access to the software to select the destination for install. You will need 5.62GB of free space to install. Select and click continue.

Step 4: Install Office for Mac

I want all users of my computer to be able to access Office and made sure to have the available space. Now I am ready to install. I click install. I had to wait a few moments for the installation to complete. Then I was notified that the installation was successful. And my installation is complete.
