How to Install OpenOffice.org 3.0 on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex )
March 28th, 2009
I wanted to upgrade OpenOffice on my Ubuntu 8.10 installation. Surfing the web I found numerous PPA that could be used, but the easiest method seemed to be below.
- Download the debs from the OpenOffice.org site
- Tar -xvzf them
- cd to the directory containing the debs
- sudo dpkg -i o*.deb
- sudo dpkg -i desktop_integration/o*.deb
