Re: [libreoffice-users] Ubuntu Libreoffice

Hello-

Are you simply trying to install the latest release of LibreOffice or 
are you just interested in compiling it?

dpkg is the debian package manager so no that command doesn't extract 
it, it installs the binary to your system.

There really is no need to compile it if you are planning on using it 
for normal every day use.

If you really want to compile then I would suggest you watch this video 
that was just created for this purpose:

:)
