How to Install the Latest LibreOffice in Ubuntu:<\/h3>\n

The software is available to install as Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage. Though, I recommend the classic .deb<\/i> package via its official PPA repository<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Add LibreOffice PPA:<\/h4>\n

Press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, paste and run the command below:<\/p>\n

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice\/ppa<\/pre>\n
Type user password (no asterisk feedback) when it asks and hit Enter to continue.<\/i><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
2. Update package cache:<\/h4>\n
For Ubuntu 18.04 and some Ubuntu based systems, user needs to manually update system package cache by running command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt upgrade<\/pre>\n
3. Install\/Upgrade Libreoffice:<\/h4>\n
Finally install the office suite via command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install libreoffice<\/pre>\n
Or upgrade the software package using Software Updater<\/b> utility:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
How to Restore:<\/h3>\n
To revert back the original office version, run command in terminal to install ppa-purge tool and purge the PPA repository.<\/p>\n
