I am a little new to Linux so i apologize if i am missing something obvious.
I would like to install open project on an old pc running ubuntu 14.04 desktop. I didn’t see any downloads for this just the 64-bit ubuntu server. Do i have to follow the manual instructions or is this not possible on the desktop version of ubuntu?

Hello Jegor,

the packaged installation is only available for 64 bit systems unfortunately and we generally recommend using the packaged installation over the manual one (here is on overview of the system requirements) .
The manual installation can be done on 32bit systems also (even though the manual installation guide covers the steps for a 64bit environment).
