thank you , that did the trick, i went with the app image

You're welcome. Glad it worked. :) By the way, to update the appimage, you'll need to download the new version when it is available.

i am still using linux lite 4.8 64bit.

i have parts of libre office installed, it was that way when i first installed linux lite,  :dft003: .
the libre office version is

"Version: 6.0.7.3
Build ID: 1:6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.10
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group"

how do i update this libre office using the terminal ?.
can it be done ?, if yes what do i type in  the terminal to do this ?.

i want to say thank you to all those who reply, even if its to tease me with comedy, hugs  :o 8) .

You can update LibreOffice to a newer version, even the latest, yes, but you'll have to uninstall the current one first, since it is the one offered by Ubuntu, so that one will be updated according to your OS version. To remove it, you can:
1. Launch Lite Software, and follow this procedure https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/software.html#removesoftware
2. Launch Linux Lite Terminal, and type
Code: [Select]
sudo apt autoremove --purge libreoffice Hit Enter, type in your password when asked, and hit Enter again. This will remove everything related to LO.
3. Download LO from here https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/ select a LO version, and the Linux (64-bit) (deb) file from the drop-down menu where it reads Choose your operating system once you've downloaded the file, extract it, and install it either by double-clicking on it, or via terminal
Code: [Select]
sudo apt install ./LibreOffice_7.2.0_Linux_x86-64.deb Note that since you're using LL 4.8, you might get some errors and LO might even refuse to install.
You can also download the appimage version https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/ choose fresh

One advantage of using the appimage, is that you don't need to install it, thus you don't need to remove anything to use it; you can keep the old one and have this one too. https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/run-appimages.html  I use the appimage and it works great. I think you should download the appimage, since it is way easier; download, make executable, and run. If you do decide to use the appimage version, I have a few tips:
I use around 20+ appimages. I created a folder named Appimages in my /home folder, this is where I keep them all. Then I add them to the menu, so they can be easily available.  A while ago I explained how I do this in another thread https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/other/libre-office/msg54234/#msg54234

Hope this helps! :)
