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.

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 !– HOSNov 14, 2013 at 21:00
Add the following command line on the terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
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!
libreoffice
; they are likelibreoffice-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 forapt install --only-upgrade
