I am using Ubuntu 13.10. Is there a way to update LibreOffice? I don't mean remove this version and do a fresh install of a new version! I don't want to waste my internet. I want to just update it.

  • I would disagree about this question being a duplicate. It asks a more specific question about LibreOffice. one of the answers below definitely helped me.

  • Yeah, it's definitely not a single package: it's an entire suite of numerous packages, interestingly none of which is called exactly libreoffice; they are like libreoffice-core, libreoffice-common, libreoffice-gnome, and many more. For a non-poweruser it's not entirely trivial which one of those should one give as argument for apt install --only-upgrade.

  • It is the secure way of updating a software sudo apt-get install packagename.

  • and also is it now install the latest version (4.1.3)? i think this this official way only installs Latest LTS release , for example if you install a program with this way and go to official site of that program you can found newer releases there ! so it doesn’t help me !

You may have to add the LibreOffice 5 PPA specifically. (For a different version, substitute a different number in for 5.0.)

sudo add-apt-repository PPA:libreoffice/libreoffice-5.0

Press Enter when prompted to add the repository as a source.

Then, you need to get the latest package lists, including the fresh ones from that source you just added, using...

sudo apt-get update

Then you can upgrade LibreOffice automatically. 

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Hope that helps!
