The latest installation instructions for LibreOffice
Hello Linux Geeksters. As I have written in this article, LibreOffice 4.1.0 RC1 has been released. It is not a stable version, but it brings some bugfixes, for the last beta version release. For more information, see the official announcement.
In this article I will show you how to install LibreOffice 4.1.0 RC1 on Fedora 19, Fedora 18, Fedora 17, OpenSUSE 13.1, OpenSUSE 12.3, OpenSUSE 12.2, Mageia 3, Mageia 2 and other RPM based distros. There is no repository available, so we have to download the archives and install the rpm files, by hand.
How to install LibreOffice 4.1.0 RC1 on 32 bit RPM systems:
$ wget -c download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/4.1.0/rpm/x86/LibreOffice_4.1.0.1_Linux_x86_rpm.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf LibreOffice_4.1.0.1_Linux_x86_rpm.tar.gz
$ cd LibreOffice_4.1.0.1_Linux_x86_rpm/RPMS
$ sudo rpm -i *.rpm
How to install LibreOffice 4.1.0 RC1 on 64 bit RPM systems:
$ wget -c download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/4.1.0/rpm/x86_64/LibreOffice_4.1.0.1_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf LibreOffice_4.1.0.1_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz
$ cd LibreOffice_4.1.0.1_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz/RPMS
$ sudo rpm -i *.rpm
FYI… the 64-bit directions have a slight error on the 3rd cmd
$ cd LibreOffice_4.1.0.1_Linux_x86-64_rpm/RPMS
