How to install LibreOffice 5.3 in Fedora 25

LibreOffice 5.3 is not yet available in Fedora’s software center. If you are LibreOffice user, then version 5.3 should make you super happy. It comes with the much-awaited ribbon interface and tons of new features. In fact this is the biggest upgrade in LibreOffice’s history!

Before installing version 5.3, I recommend to uninstall the previous version as conflicts may arise. To remove the previous version launch ‘Terminal’ and enter the following command:

sudo dnf remove libreoffice*

Enter root password and then enter ‘y’ when you see the prompt in terminal.

Install LibreOffice 5.3 in Fedora

STEP 1: Download LibreOffice RPM binaries from official webpage.

STEP 2: Extract the contents of the downloaded tar.gz file.

STEP 3: Launch Terminal and navigate into the RPMS sub-directory in the extracted folder. Notice that you folder name may be different.

cd Downloads

cd LibreOffice_5.3.0.3_Linux_x86-64_rpm

cd RPMS

STEP 4: Enter the following command to install all the RPM binaries in that folder.

sudo dnf install *.rpm

That’s it.
