How to install newer versions of LibreOffice

Post by jakke5 »

On the machine of my friend I followed the instructions of Xenopeek.
"How to fix LibreOffice PPA not installing newer versions" http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=201522
Great job of Xenopeek.
Do the same measures work for LMDE?

No, LMDE (Debian) doesn't work with PPAs.

exploder has written how to install LibreOffice 5 on LMDE 2: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 8&t=201997. That may also work if you're still using LMDE 1.

Will there be automatic updates for the 5.0 installed the way discribed by http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 8&t=201997?
Will there be a dutch version too in the future?

No automatic updates, because you're not using a repository.

If you skip the wget commands from the guide, and instead download the needed files from the website yourself, you can choose whatever language you want (I didn't find Klingon though :().

For Dutch 32 bit: https://nl.libreoffice.org/download/?ve ... pe=deb-x86
For Dutch 64 bit: https://nl.libreoffice.org/download/?ve ... deb-x86_64

The guide is only set up to install the first file you can download from there. I don't know if you need the other two files (for translated user interface and translated help files) or if they are already included in the first file. I'd assume so, else what is Dutch about it :wink: If they are needed it is as trivial as downloading them, extracting the file contents, going to the DEBS directory in the extracted directory and opening a terminal there, and running the "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" command.

Anyway, I'm waiting for Libreoffice 5 to be available in the LMDE2 repo's. Otherwise I fear I'd have to re-install LO everytime it's updated...
