So, I looked it up and one person said to type sudo apt-get install openoffice.org, but when I did that, I got the error:
Package "openoffice.org" has no installation candidate
So I was hoping someone knew of a way for me to install it on my Lubuntu system. I mainly need it as a replacement for word and powerpoint, and I know people say LibreOffice is better, and I do believe that, however every time I open LibreOffice, it crashes upon opening. Not sure what to do here. :/.

Re: Help! How do I install OpenOffice?
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 wil 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 if 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.
Code: Select all
