Ron Bates says: December 12, 2012 at 8:50 pm Hey, I am running Fedora 17 on an Acer 64 bit machine (using 64 bit o/s), using Gnome 3.4.2 with 8gb of RAM. I am a novice to Linux, but not to various other o/s and applicaitons (i.e. reasonably IT literate as a user). I have tried installing LibreOffice 3.6.3 per your instructions and whilst I can connect to download.documentfoundation.org, it flounders on the HTTP request coming back with the message: 404 Not Found I have checked syntax (including case). Any advice please? Regards. Reply

Ravi Saive says: December 13, 2012 at 12:31 pm @Ron Bates, We have updated the links with the latest release of LibreOffice 3.6.4 and the older version 3.6.3 links are outdated one. Please try again the links will work. Thanks.. Reply 2. Lucian says: December 18, 2012 at 5:58 pm Hello, thank you for the tutorial, I have a small update: for RHEL CentOS I did not used rpm command but yum remove and yum localinstall to avoid the damage on rpm database. Lucian Reply Ron Bates says: December 18, 2012 at 9:55 pm Would this tip work on Fedora 17 and if so, what would the syntax be please? Reply 3. jRuston says: January 31, 2013 at 3:12 am Open Office is probably one of the greatest office programs there is. Far better than MS Office anyway!

Reply Ravi Saive says: January 31, 2013 at 12:07 pm Yes! OpenOffice is far better than MS Office in many terms. Like its open source, Cross-platform compatibility, Faster operation performance, free automatic updates and many more. Reply 4. Eddie G. says: February 3, 2013 at 9:56 pm I have Fedora 18, and I have followed your instructions, but it will not install.after unpacking the .tar I copy and paste the next command to install it, but it gives me an error message saying that theres no such file or directory. I tried changing permissions for the file / folder using Beesubut it still wont install. I guess I will just wait until Fedora updates its repositoriesor else I will just use the websites installer packages. Thanks Anyway! Reply 5. MAC says: February 4, 2013 at 4:24 am After using OpenOffice for several years, now LibreOffice is going to be installed. It is by far easier with more functionality than the MS Office bar none. Excellent Link! Reply 6. Marco says: March 13, 2013 at 5:11 pm @jRuston @Ravi Saive Its not openoffice anymore, its LibreOffice. Oracle has sabotaged what used to be openoffice. Openoffice now has become something you will want to stay away from as far as possible.

Reply 7. Eddie G. says: March 17, 2013 at 5:18 am I would have to agree that LibreOffice is the best Office suite Ive used in a long time. Ive been lately ridiculed and poked fun at by those who are using MS Office 365 on Windows8.their jeers? That the OS I use looks outdated.that no one uses a full on-the-hard-drive office suite anymore, that all documents and office inter-operability is done from the cloud these days, that the office suite looks old and clunky. To them I usually just reply at least it does what I want it to do, and what its supposed to do..FLAWLESSLY! Which to me is the ultimate tipping point when it comes to making the decision on whether or not I install and use a piece of software / hardware. I dont care if it looks like it belongs in a museum, as long as when I approach my machine, power it on, and am able to work on whatever needs working on, and do it with efficiency and with flawless execution, then what care I if it looks pretty to the outside world or not!? Reply 8. amit says: March 21, 2013 at 1:27 am i was installing it on fedora 17 and i have got an error File not found by glob: *.rpm at the step rpm -Uvh *.rpm before this step all things went good. please solve it. Reply Ravi Saive says: March 21, 2013 at 11:31 am Go to the actual path, for example cd /tmp/LibO_3.6.5_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US/RPMS/ directory and run the command again. You must be under RPMS directory to run the command. or use pwd command to check your current working directory. Reply 9. Tox says:
