This short tutorial will guide you how to manually install LibreOffice In Ubuntu. As you know, LibreOffice has been pre-installed in Ubuntu.

This version is a customized version of Ubuntu, which can work better in Ubuntu. It also integrates the Ubuntu Application menu and other settings.

The official version of LibreOffice on the download page is different from the default version you have obtained from Ubuntu. What you get is not a non-standard version, but it is customized and then added to the mongout software library.

If you want to use the official LibreOffice Standard Edition, you must manually download it from the download page. This means that the current version is completely uninstalled and the. deb package is downloaded from the official download page.

To do this, you must first completely clear the LibreOffice from Ubuntu.

To manually install the official version of LibreOffice in Ubuntu, you must uninstall the current version. To uninstall LibreOffice in Ubuntu, run the following command.

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice* && sudo apt-get autoremove

Run the preceding command to restart your computer. After you log on again, download the. deb package of LibreOffice from the download page.

Install LibreOffice manually in Ubuntu

Download the. deb package, open the terminal, and enter the Downloads folder in your home directory. By default, the files downloaded by Firefox are stored there.

cd ~/Downloads

Then run the following command to extract the .tar.gz file in the downloaded file.

tar -xvf LibreOffice_*.tar.gz

After you decompress the .tar.gz file, you will see a new LibreOffice Deb folder in the Downloads folder. To manually install LibreOffice, run the following command.

sudo dpkg -i LibreOffice_*/DEBS/*.deb

After running the preceding command, LibreOffice will be installed and ready for use.

Next, go to Unity Dash and start LibreOffice. The above describes how to manually install LibreOffice In Ubuntu.
