I'm following this guide to install WPS Office but when I run the dpkg command, the following appears in the terminal:

(Reading database ... 291111 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack wps-office.deb ...
Unpacking wps-office (10.1.0.5672~a21) over (10.1.0.5672~a21) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of wps-office:
 wps-office depends on libpng12-0; however:
  Package libpng12-0 is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package wps-office (--install):

Then, when I run:

sudo apt-get install -f && rm wps-office.deb

The following is output:

Reading package lists... Done

Correcting dependencies... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:

I switched to Ubuntu from ChromeOS about a week and a half ago so this is all very new to me and any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently, you don't have package libpng12-0 installed. Download the correct one for your architecture.

Then open terminal and run the command below to install libpng12-0 package

sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u2_amd64.deb

For 64-bit, or

sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_i386.deb

For 32-bit

And then run

sudo dpkg -i wps-office_10.1.0.5672~a21_amd64.deb

To install WPS Office.

install libpng first then install WPS Office.

dpkg is usually good about satisfying dependencies, so libpng might not be available from your current repositories.

you can get it here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libpng12-0
