How to Install Libre Office without tears (hopefully)

[tomp01]

I use Linux Mint 10 KDE edition but this should work equally well for Kubuntu MM. I was rooting around for the easiest way to do it and I haven't found anything simpler so far.

sudo apt-get remove openoffice*.* /Remove Open Office if installed

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa /Add Libre Office PPA
sudo apt-get update /Update sources

sudo apt-get install libreoffice /Install Libre Office

Only slightly simpler, but when you install libreoffice apt will remove openoffice so the first line isn't really necessary. It doesn't hurt anything, though

I agree Wizard but going way back to Xan... days, it was the instructions "from on high" to uninstall first.

BTW, the method works PUUUFFEeectly! Got it going right now!

Nothing wrong with a belt and braces approach.

Thanks for the welcome woodsmoke. I suppose it was about time I said something on this forum. I've been hanging around for awhile and I may not be older than dirt, but I'm not far off. lol
