This is because it is usually the simplest way to obtain an installation that is optimally integrated into your system. Indeed, LibreOffice may well be already installed by default when you originally install your Linux operating system.</p><p>The community-supplied LibreOffice installers are provided for users having special needs, and for out-of-the-ordinary cases.</p><p>The software and hardware prerequisites for installing on Linux are as follows:</p><ul><li>Linux kernel version 4.18 or higher (since 24.2, kernel version 3.10 for older releases)</li> <li>glibc2 version 2.27 or higher (since 24.2, glibc 2.17 for older releases)</li> <li>Pentium-compatible PC (Pentium III, Athlon or more-recent system recommended)</li> <li>256Mb RAM (512 MB RAM recommended)</li> <li>Up to 1.55 GB available hard disk space</li> <li>X Server with 1280x800 resolution, with at least 256 colors</li> <li>Gnome 3.18 or higher, with the at-spi2 1.32 package (required for support for assistive technology [AT] tools), or another compatible GUI (such as KDE, among others)</li> </ul><p>For certain features of the software - but not most - Java is required.
