''How to install LibreOffice 3.4.3 in Linux Mint''

---

* I tried LibreOffice 3.4.3 on Linux Mint Katya, I don't know if it work in another version of Linux Mint ;)

* Also you can add this PPA to your system: ppa:libreoffice/ppa  but it's too old (version 3.3.3 of LibreOffice), with this tutorial I show you another form to install the latest version of LibreOffice  :)

---

 

First of all, we must remove the version you have installed either OpenOffice or LibreOffice:

sudo apt-get purge openoffice*.*

or

sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*.*

Then, download the installers .deb of LibreOffice 3.4.3 , Proceed immediately to decompress, to finally install all .debs that include the downloaded packages.

For systems 32 bits:

wget http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.4.3/deb/x86/LibO_3.4.3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
wget http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.4.3/deb/x86/LibO_3.4.3_Linux_x86_langpack-deb_es.tar.gz
tar xzvf LibO_3.4.3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
tar xzvf LibO_3.4.3_Linux_x86_langpack-deb_es.tar.gz
cd LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd desktop-integration
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd ../../../LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_x86_langpack-deb_es/DEBS/
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

wget http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.4.3/deb/x86_64/LibO_3.4.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
wget http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.4.3/deb/x86_64/LibO_3.4.3_Linux_x86-64_langpack-deb_es.tar.gz
tar xzvf LibO_3.4.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz

sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd desktop-integration
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd ../../../LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_x86-64_langpack-deb_es/DEBS/

To integrate Libreoffice with your desktop environment, also install the following package:

- GNOME:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-gnome

- KDE:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-kde


When removing OpenOffice, the spellchecker and the language support package are also removed. Get these packages back to use with LibreOffice by installing the following package:

sudo apt-get install language-support-en

Or one could simply add ppa:libreoffice/ppa to software sources and wait a short time to get the new version via the normal updates.

You might also want to specify which version of mint this tutorial applies to
