Hi
Linux Mint 21.2 64 bit
Just downloaded the rpm file and followed instructions for install as per this link.
Downloads into ‘Downloads’ ok
Extract in this position.
Navigate (while still in Downloads) to LibreOffice, DEBS, Extract, open in terminal, enter: sudo deb -i *.rpm
Terminal shows message: sudo: deb: command not found
What is incorrect? is the sudo deb i*.rpm (as per article) correct ?
Thankyou

What is this? Does “64” designate architecture? Is this “7.1 64 bit”, or is this some other inventive signature?
In addition to what @mikekaganski says, those instructions are for Ubuntu or Fedora, whereas you state you are using Mint.
Did you read the LibreOffice installation instructions? Which specifically mention Mint.
Just added a dot between.
sounds like the (zdnet-)-author copy&paste’s bullshit from chatgpt??
The article is wrong. First there is no deb package command on Debian or derivatives like Ubuntu or Mint. Second, you don’t install *.rpm on Debian derivatives but *.deb (hence you need to download the correct LibreOffice install package again). The command would be
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
or rather use
sudo apt install ./*.deb
that will also resolve dependencies to be installed in case you’re missing any, which dpkg does not.
Thankyou everyone for your commentss.
