Here's the Linux-specific text in the README_en-GB file:
Installation of LibreOfficeDev on Debian/Ubuntu-based Linux systems
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For instructions on how to install a language pack (after having installed the
US English version of LibreOfficeDev), please read the section below entitled
Installing a Language Pack.
When you unpack the downloaded archive, you will see that the contents have
been decompressed into a sub-directory. Open a file manager window, and change
directory to the one starting with "LibreOffice_", followed by the version
number and some platform information.
This directory contains a subdirectory called "DEBS". Change directory to the
"DEBS" directory.
Right-click within the directory and choose "Open in Terminal". A terminal
window will open. From the command line of the terminal window, enter the
following command (you will be prompted to enter your root user's password
before the command will execute):
The following commands will install LibreOffice and the desktop integration
packages (you may just copy and paste them into the terminal screen rather than
trying to type them):
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
The installation process is now completed, and you should have icons for all
the LibreOfficeDev applications in your desktop's Applications/Office menu.
Installation of LibreOfficeDev on Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva and other Linux
systems using RPM packages
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For instructions on how to install a language pack (after having installed the
US English version of LibreOfficeDev), please read the section below entitled
Installing a Language Pack.
When you unpack the downloaded archive, you will see that the contents have
been decompressed into a sub-directory. Open a file manager window, and change
directory to the one starting with "LibreOffice_", followed by the version
number and some platform information.
This directory contains a subdirectory called "RPMS". Change directory to the
"RPMS" directory.
Right-click within the directory and choose "Open in Terminal". A terminal
window will open. From the command line of the terminal window, enter the
following command (you will be prompted to enter your root user's password
before the command will execute):
For Fedora-based systems: su -c 'yum install *.rpm'
For Mandriva-based systems: sudo urpmi *.rpm
For other RPM-based systems (openSUSE, etc.): rpm -Uvh *.rpm
The installation process is now completed, and you should have icons for all
the LibreOfficeDev applications in your desktop's Applications/Office menu.
Alternatively, you can use the 'install' script, located in the top-level
directory of this archive to perform an installation as a user. The script will
set up LibreOfficeDev to have its own profile for this installation, separated
from your normal LibreOfficeDev profile. Note that this will not install the
system integration parts such as desktop menu items and desktop MIME type
registrations.
Notes Concerning Desktop Integration for Linux Distributions Not Covered in the
Above Installation Instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It should be easily possible to install LibreOfficeDev on other Linux
distributions not specifically covered in these installation instructions. The
main aspect for which differences might be encountered is desktop integration.
The RPMS (or DEBS, respectively) directory also contains a package named
libreoffice6.3-freedesktop-menus-6.3.0.1-1.noarch.rpm (or
libreoffice6.3-debian-menus_6.3.0.1-1_all.deb, respectively, or similar). This
is a package for all Linux distributions that support the Freedesktop.org
specifications/recommendations (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedesktop.org">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedesktop.org</a>),
and is provided for installation on other Linux distributions not covered in
the aforementioned instructions.
Installing a Language Pack
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Download the language pack for your desired language and platform. They are
available from the same location as the main installation archive. From the
Nautilus file manager, extract the downloaded archive into a directory (your
desktop, for instance). Ensure that you have exited all LibreOfficeDev
applications (including the QuickStarter, if it is started).
Change directory to the directory in which you extracted your downloaded
language pack.
Now change directory to the directory that was created during the extraction
process. For instance, for the French language pack for a 32-bit
Debian/Ubuntu-based system, the directory is named LibreOffice_, plus some
version information, plus Linux_x86_langpack-deb_fr.
Now change directory to the directory that contains the packages to install. On
Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, the directory will be DEBS. On Fedora, openSUSE or
Mandriva systems, the directory will be RPMS.
>From the Nautilus file manager, right-click in the directory and choose the
command "Open in terminal". In the terminal window you just opened, execute the
command to install the language pack (with all of the commands below, you may
be prompted to enter your root user's password):
For Debian/Ubuntu-based systems: sudo dpkg -i *.deb
For Fedora-based systems: su -c 'yum install *.rpm'
For Mandriva-based systems: sudo urpmi *.rpm
For other RPM-using systems (openSUSE, etc.): rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Now start one of the LibreOfficeDev applications - Writer, for instance. Go to
the Tools menu and choose Options. In the Options dialogue box, click on
"Language Settings" and then click on "Languages". Dropdown the "User
interface" list and select the language you just installed. If you want, do the
same thing for the "Locale setting", the "Default currency", and the "Default
languages for documents".
After adjusting those settings, click on OK. The dialogue box will close, and
you will see an information message telling you that your changes will only be
activated after you exit LibreOfficeDev and start it again (remember to also
exit the QuickStarter if it is started).
The next time you start LibreOfficeDev, it will start in the language you just
installed.</pre>
