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.

    Update to what? And how did you install it? – Rinzwind Nov 12 '13 at 09:58

  • 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. – abjbhat Jan 30 '15 at 03:38
  • 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`. – Levente Jan 21 '21 at 13:00

  • (Thanks & sorry) will the update be a secure way ? or it may cause some problem and performance issues ? – HOS Nov 13 '13 at 20:23
  • It is the secure way of updating a software `sudo apt-get install packagename`. – Avinash Raj Nov 14 '13 at 00:46
  • yes i know this way is secure but i asked about something else ,come on ,its not very important ! THANKS A LOT for supporting. – HOS Nov 14 '13 at 20:54
  • 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 ! – HOS Nov 14 '13 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!
