Don't understand why you are so unsure why I asked the question.

Is there some convoluted way which is used in Ubuntu to install an 
application like LibreOffice directly available from the LibreOffice site?

Or as me ol' mate Ric would say, "One has to wave a chicken foot while 
hopping around the room on one leg" before one is able to do what is 
normally a very simple install of the files downloaded from LO?

I just wanted Ric to tell me that.

And they are available here:
