How to update LibreOffice?

Question

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.

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

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!
