Install Open Office on Ubuntu 9.04 (command line method)

I want to share this knowledge with you guys, I learned this a month ago from an Ubuntu Forum.Basically this installation process doesn’t involve wizard installation, you need to use Terminal (command line for lynux).

Follow the ff steps:

1. go to the OpenOffice website and download the Linux .deb file.

2.Once you have done that, extract the .deb file, OOo_3.1.1_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz then you’ll see a file called OOO310_m19_native_packed-1_en-US.9420

3. remove the existing version of OpenOffice if you wish with this command: sudo apt-get remove openoffice*.*

4. Copy and paste OOO310_m19_native_packed-1_en-US.9420 onto the desktop then open Terminal and paste this command: sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/OOO310_m19_native_packed-1_en-US.9420/DEBS/*.deb

5. Then paste this command: sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/OOO310_m19_native_packed-1_en-US.9420/DEBS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.1-debian-menus_3.1-9420_all.deb

    Oh I so like OpenOffice installed on a windows environment. On behalf of that, it is user friendly and most like its full features patterned on the Microsoft Office Suite. No need to buy because it is open source meaning it’s FREE. But I have a question like how to make it speed up on start like Microsoft Office? It makes me sleepy every time I open it because it feels me slow, but good. :)

  2. I think there’s an issue with the RSS feed here. Seems like a broken link to me?
