	Which distribution are you using?

	In rational user-oriented distros there usually is a Install/Remove 
software interface somewhere in there.  It can
download the LibreOffice or OpenOffice or maybe Calliga Office
suites and install it for you.  On those that I have used
including Knoppix, Mandriva, Mageia, PCLOS and Kubuntu there
is such an interface.
	Perhaps you will have to review the documentation
on your distributions web site and ask about the program it
uses.
	On those I mentioned getting a wanted program that happens
to be in the repository is only a matter of typing the name of
the program into a requester window.  If it is not in the
repository then you have to do things with cli programs that
will get what you want from the net.
