OpenOffice 2.4 on Ubuntu 9.04
Re: Chromium
This is how I normally install OpenOffice on linux (Xubuntu 18.04.4 but also other earlier versions); you may need to tweak this to suit the version of linux you are using (certainly for rpm versions)
In a Terminal type
Do not omit the * at the end of the command.
From http://www.openoffice.org/download/
select the installation candidate of the language version you need - it will be "linux DEB", probably 64 bit (you will know if your computer is 32 or 64 bit)
and let this download.
It will be a tar.gz file. Change to your Download directory
Continuing in the same terminal window use
to expand the file. Depending on the language etc, this will take place into /Downloads/en-US (or similar).
Continuing in the same terminal window
then
now close the terminal, and you should find OpenOffice in your Office group.
Note that it has taken me longer to type all this than to install a version of OpenOffice on linux!
Do not overlook that in linux case is important in terminal commands.
In a Terminal type
Code: Select all
sudo purge libreoffice*

Code: Select all
cd Downloads
Code: Select all
tar xvf Apache_OpenOffice ....tar.gz <etc too long to type>
Continuing in the same terminal window
Code: Select all
cd en-US (or as appropriate)
cd DEBS
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd desktop-integration
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
