| == Making sure LibreOffice is available for your Ubuntu version == === Ubuntu 11.10, 12.04 LTS === LibreOffice is now a part of Ubuntu. Since LibreOffice is already part of the standard packages, just search for “libreoffice” in your favorite package manager.

| '''Note:''' if you want to get the very latest version of LibreOffice, you may do so by following instructions below for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. As an example, if you're using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, your LibreOffice version is 3.5.4. Only security updates will be applied to it, while feature updates for greater versions will be available by using the PPA. === Ubuntu 10.04 LTS === For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS it is recommended that you use the LibreOffice Personal Package Archive (PPA) repository. A PPA is always considered a third-party application and unfit for production purposes (as far as official commercial support goes), however LibreOffice became part of Ubuntu in April 2011, and this PPA is the source for such official stable versions. Make sure you test this appropriately if you intend to use this in a production environment under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Follow these steps to make LibreOffice available for installation in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: 1. Open a terminal window under '''Applications > Accessories > Terminal''' 2. Use these commands to add the repository: {{{sudo apt-get install python-software-properties}}} {{{sudo apt-add-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-3-5}}} 3. Update the packages list: {{{sudo apt-get update}}} LibreOffice is now available for installation.
