Hello,
I have been trying to download and install open office 4.x with no success.
My biggest problem, quite frankly, is I have "never" been able to successfully install ANY tar files.
Is there a way to download a non-tar deb file that I can install an use on my Ubuntu 20.04 ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Bruce

Change to your Download directory, to which you have downloaded the tar file. Then
this will unpack the file into a folder with name something like en-US in the downloads folder.
Change into that folder, then into DEBS folder in it
then
Do not omit the desktop integration part.
Code: Select all
tar vxf the_full_name_of_the_file.tar.gz.
Change into that folder, then into DEBS folder in it
then
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd desktop-integration
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

You don't need to install OpenOffice. Your distribution comes with a better office suite called "LibreOffice". It is the successor to OpenOffice. OpenOffice is walking dead.
