LibreOffice-4-2 PPA for Ubuntu 12.04 / 13.10 - How to install - Tutorial. [closed]
Hi,
I see many web sites are suggesting to install LibreOffice 4.2 by adding a ppa:libreoffice/ppa to Ubuntu 12.04 or Ubuntu 13.10, but this PPA is LibreOffice unstable and alfa, beta and release candidates will land in this PPA. So unstable repository that most of the users probably don't want to have. Install LibreOffice 4.2.x from above PPA only if you would like to test alfa, beta, release candidates etc.
Install LibreOffice 4.2.x stable (including stable fix releases) then do the following (in Terminal):
(1) Add LibreOffice 4.2 PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-2
(2) Update repository:
sudo apt-get update
(3) Install LibreOffice 4.2:
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
Hope this helps.
Regards
How to uninstall a previous version, also would be good.
You don't need to uninstall previous version, just add PPA and LibreOffice will get updated.

If you have installed Libre Office 3.x the step 3 must be replaced with this instruction:
Now with the release 4.3 you also can use the the newest PPA, so the first command is replaced with this:
I tested it with Ubuntu 12.04 x64 and works OK.
