Re: [libreoffice-users] How to upgrade LO on Ubuntu 14.04.LTS

It is possible. If you want 5.0.2 specifically (not sure why...having
identical versions on all machines really isn't required) but here are
steps (assuming you're using 64 bit machine):

1. Download the debian package located:
https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/5.0.2.2/deb/x86_64/LibreOffice_5.0.2.2_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz
;

2. Untar the file (navigate to folder using your file browser, right click
on .tar.gz, uncompress it);

3. open terminal

4. use "cd" command to navigate to the DEBS folder inside of the
uncompressed folder you just uncompressed, for example if I uncompressed
the tar.gz to ~/Downloads then I would be something like this "cd
~/Downloads/[FOLDER NAME]/DEBS

5. sudo dpkg -i *.deb

for the help files:

https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/5.0.2.2/deb/x86_64/

Download the relevant one and install the debian file the same way as
described above.


Best,
Joel
