How to install the LibreOffice beta 3 rpm package

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, :-)

There is a download of LibreOffice 3.3 beta 3 at:

http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/3.3.0-beta3/rpm/x86/LibO_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz

There are no instructions about how to install it, and I want to draft
a how-to to be included with the download.

However, I'm an Ubuntu user and I'm not familiar with installing rpm's
any more. Could anyone help me out with precise instructions for
Fedora Core so that the LibO community's newbie users have chance of
success?

To provide a framework, here are the instructions applicable to Debian Ubuntu:

"1) When you unpack the downloaded archive, you will see that the
contents have been decompressed into a directory called "en-US". Open
a terminal window, and change directory to the "en-US" directory.

2) The "en-US" directory contains a subdirectory called "DEBS". Change
directory to the directory "DEBS".

3) Then run this command (you will be prompted to enter your root
user's password):

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

4) dpkg does the first part of the installation process. Now change
directory to the "desktop-integration" directory that is within the
"DEBS" directory. Run the dpkg command again:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

The installation process is now completed, and you should have icons
for all the LibreOffice applications in your Applications/Office
menu."

Could someone edit the above instructions to work for Fedora Core? A
big thanks in advance for any help... ;-)
