Re: [libreoffice-users] Having trouble installing Libre Office

Hi mrzenwiz,

Thank you for responding, but I am lost after installing x64 for 64 bit.  I
do not understand:

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.

Is there a more simple way of explaining it?

Thank you.
