LibreOffice is an office software on Ubuntu Many people know about Microsoft's Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, but few people know about LibreOffice.
LibreOffice is maintained by volunteers from all over the world, supported by a charitable foundation. It is a major free office tool for the Linux community. It can be installed on computers in systems such as Windows,mac OS x and Linux.
So, let me take a look at the installation of LibreOffice.
In fact, the method of installation is very simple, as long as a command is enough
Open terminal (shortcut key ctrl+alt+t) input
sudo apt-get install LibreOffice
The system is then fetched from the software source and installed automatically.
Use this command later to update from the software source
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
#sudo apt-get update to get a list of the most recent packages, and the list contains information about the packages, such as whether the package has been updated
#sudo Apt-get Dist-upgrade If the package does not publish updates, regardless of it, if the update is released, download the package to your computer and install it.
The apt-get update instruction synchronizes the RPM index list (package list) of the consumer and apt servers, and the APT server's RPM index list is placed in the base folder, and the user-side computer obtains the BZ2 RPM index archive in the base folder, which Its decompression is placed in the/var/state/apt/lists/, and the user uses Apt-get install or Apt-get dist-upgrade command, the data in this folder and the user-side computer in the RPM database, As a result, you know that those RPMs are installed, not installed, or can be upgraded.
Here's the relationship between Apt-get upgrade and Apt-get Dist-upgrade.
Because there are various dependencies between packages and packages. Upgrade is just a simple update package, regardless of these dependencies, it does not add packages, or delete packages. Instead, Dist-upgrade can add packages and delete packages based on changes in dependency relationships.
The latest version of the software source is not necessarily the latest version of the official website, if you want to install the latest version of the original website (http://www.libreoffice.org/download/) up to download the latest version of the deb.tar.gz file and then extract
TAR-XVF libreoffice_*.tar.gz
libreoffice_*.tar.gz to download the file name instead
Next Install
sudo dpkg-i libreoffice_*/debs/*.deb
Libreoffice_* the file name that was downloaded in this article
After running the above command, the LibreOffice will be installed and ready for use.
