You need to install ”nautilus-open-terminal” first.
When you did, you can right click a folder in Nautilus and there will be a  
”Open in terminal” option there.

What I don't understand is why you need to do that AFTER you installed  
LibreOffice. I can see the point doing so BEFORE installing LibreOffice,  
becasue there are probably quite a few deb files somewhere that you need  
to install, and it's very convenient to do that in a terminal. When you  
are in the right folder in your terminal, then just type:
dpkg -i *deb (or something like that…)
At least that is the procedure for OpenOffice.org, but I guess it is the  
same with LibreOffice. I don't use it myself since they say it's a  
development from Go-oo, which I find very buggy. Maybe that isn't the case  
for LibreOffice, I don't know…
