How to install LibreOffice 5.0 in Ubuntu?

Question

Libreoffice 5.0 was just released.

tried

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-5.0

But

cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~libreoffice/ubuntu/libreoffice-5-0'.
The team named '~libreoffice' has no PPA named 'ubuntu/libreoffice-5-0'

Edit: You can add Libreofiice 5.0 using

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:libreoffice/ppa

I'm going to close this Q with our "standard libreoffice latest version" Q&A - — fossfreedom, Aug 05 '15 at 10:44
@dhiya - yes it does - have a look at the PPA in question - it holds LO 5 packages and the upgrade process as described in the answer will install that over your existing LO installation. — fossfreedom, Aug 05 '15 at 11:18

Simply use the official PPA :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update

Option 1 : You don't have libreoffice yet :

Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice

Or install using Ubuntu Software center :

Option 2 : You already have an old version of LibreOffice (4.x) :

Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run:

sudo apt-get upgrade

It's better to use [LibreOffce Fresh PPA](https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/), just add it to your system and run **Software Updater ** to upgrade your system. via: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/08/upgrade-libreoffice-5-0-ubuntu-linux-mint/ – user245979 Aug 06 '15 at 15:43
Why is the 5.0 PPA down? – pileofrocks Aug 07 '15 at 04:16
The correct link seems to be https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-5-0 – Rmano Sep 05 '15 at 17:49

If you are looking for RC5, you can try

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa

Or

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-prereleases

Keep in mind they are early releases and unstables versions.
