Mageia forum

Hello,
how can I install the newest version of LibreOffice from file? When I unpack it and go into the RPM folder and start the Konsole, it won't accept the order "sudo urpmi *.rpm". Sudo is an unknown order. So how can I install Libreoffice?
Kind regards
Sigurd

Hi there,

change to root using su and then use the same command without prefixing it with sudo.
Otherwise you would need to configure sudo: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Configuring_sudo

Apart from that, why would you want to install the newest version? Because if you already having issues installing it, updating it regularly might cause even more issues ...
I'd say if you really want the newest version, better install it as flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.li ... ibreOffice
As that way you also get updates via flatpak.

Hi Dr.5000
I just have changed from Kubuntu to Mageia. So, some things I not yet know how to do them here.
I have downloaded the flatpack file from your link you provided above. What have I to do with it?
Kind regards
Sigurd

Hi there, flatpak usage is the same for all distros. You also don't need to download the file.
Have a look at https://flatpak.org/setup/Mageia/ for the basic setup and then at the bottom of the libreoffice flatpak page:

Code: Select all

flatpak install flathub org.libreoffice.LibreOfficecontent_copy

Hi doktor5000,

I have installed "sudo" and "dnf". Then I have installed flatpack with sudo. But I cannot install flathub that you provided. Please have a look at the attached screenshot.

Kind regards
Sigurd

No need to post text output as screenshot, as that's not searchable.

Sorry but that was a copy&paste issue with the flathub website, try again without the "content_copy" at the end.

Code: Select all

flatpak install flathub org.libreoffice.LibreOffice
