LibreOffice as Snap

Snaps are fast to install, easy to create, safe to run, and they update automatically and transactionally so the application is always fresh and never broken. They aim to work on any distribution or device, from IoT devices to servers, desktops to mobile devices.

Installing LibreOffice from the store

Current versions of LibreOffice are available in the Snap store as 64-bit versions.

You can install the LibreOffice snap by visiting:

https://snapcraft.io/libreoffice

Or install from the command line:

sudo snap install libreoffice

If you are missing the snap command you might need to install snapd first.

Running the LibreOffice version installed as snap

After installing, the version of LibreOffice installed via snap can be found in the Application menu.

Alternatively, it can be started with the command:

/snap/bin/libreoffice

Omitting the full path likely starts the version of LibreOffice installed by the distribution instead, if there is one.
