For future reference: the install files are under 'Get Help' (seems odd
that there is no link to this on the Download page
<http://www.libreoffice.org/download/>).

http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/
  "Installation instructions: Visit the installation instructions page
for detailed step-by-step instructions for installing LibreOffice on
your operating system (Windows, Macintosh and GNU/Linux)."
  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/
    http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/linux/
Note: step 3 of "Installation of LibreOffice on Debian/Ubuntu-based
Linux systems" still (incorrectly) assumes that the user has somehow
magically installed 'nautilus-open-terminal' which is _not_ a default
nautilus package (it's in the universe repository). Further, the user
may not even be using nautilus at all. And yes, this has been discussed
on this & the discussion list in the past.
