LibreOffice is still in beta test, so you won't get it as an automatic
anything yet.

You have to download the .deb gzipped-tar file, uncompress it and then
run the installation directly.  Just be sure you have the right
version: Linux x86 or x64 (deb) and pick your language.  x86 is for
32-bit systems, x64 for 64-bit (of course).

tar xzf <the file you downloaded>, cd into the newly created LibO_*
directory, then cd into the DEBS directory, run 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb",
then cd into the desktop-integration directory and run the same dpkg
command again.

That's it.
