sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
no, that ppa does not contain LibreOffice 4.1.3, but the second release candidate (LibreOffice 4.1.3 RC2)
Sorry, my fault. It’s a Version:4.1.3.2 Build ID: 410m0(Build:2).
Thank you for the syntax. You might add this as the first line – to remove the older 3x version first, and thus all documents launched will use the new 4x app.
$ sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*
