Sorry - I did shortcut that a bit.  You can take tony's explanation,
except you also need to do the last steps here:

Let's say you downloaded the installation file to a directory called
"Downloads."
open a terminal window.
On that terminal, execute the following lines:

cd Downloads
tar xzf LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz

This will create a directory with the name
LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.

cd LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

You'll need to enter your password for this to work, then it will take
a while.  You can shortcut the tar and cd commands by typing LibO<tab>
instead of the whole filename and it will fill in the right
completion.  When the dpkg is done do this last step:

cd desktop-integration
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

That should do it.  After that you can go back and delete the whole
LibO_* directory if you want - it's pretty big and a complete waste of
space once LO is installed.
