16.04 - How do I install the latest OpenOffice? - Ask Ubuntu


as new ubuntu user, have installed few apps through terminal.

i have tried follow several, albeit outdated, threads explain how install openoffice, cannot work. helpful if provide me necessary commands work.

  • we use libreoffice. openoffice license suited. openoffice has license restrictive ubuntu of use (see below).
  • besides that: ubuntu not using latest version stable version @ release of os. security wise better stick versions ubuntu supplies. security related fixes provided when found , fixed.

nevertheless ...

  • you need remove libreoffice 1st , since there no personal archive openoffice need download website (pick 64-bit deb). software provided deb can download , use our software center install doubleclicking finished download; or can pick tar.gz download , have installation instructions inside installer on how install (see readme regarding installation inside package).

but why go through trouble? since there licensing issue opt libreoffice.

this isn’t accident. openoffice’s sidebar code copied , incorporated libreoffice. apache openoffice project uses apache license, while libreoffice uses dual lgplv3 / mpl license. practical result libreoffice can take openoffice’s code , incorporate libreoffice — licenses compatible.

on other hand, libreoffice has features — font embedding — don’t appear in openoffice. because 2 different licenses allow one-way transfer of code. libreoffice can incorporate openoffice’s code, openoffice can’t incorporate libreoffice’s code. result of different licenses projects chose.

basically: libeoffice have more features openoffice.

regarding libeoffice

  • libreoffice provides native debian installer can use software center install it. , there personal archive bleeding edge ...

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa sudo apt update 

    you can install specific versions newer ubuntu provides replacing 1st command ...

    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-2 

and replacing 4-2 version want.


by way: not need remove libreoffice or openoffice if want install newer version of libreoffice or of openoffice. need remove other 1 if want switch between them or need remove version higher 1 want install (and disable newer version when installing older version).
