Install LibreOffice on Mac
Easy installation
LibreOffice's Mac version is easier to install than any other version of LibreOffice. However, it offers the least control over the installation. Users can only get the full version, with all the features and languages, that were included in the DMG (Mac application installation format).
​
The five steps below show the ease of installation.
Step 1
Visit the download page on LibreOffice's Website
The Web address is libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/ or click the button below. There are two sections on the page. The top one is the latest version of LibreOffice. The bottom one is the second latest.
The Web page will give users access to either the English (American) version or the language version their Web browser is set to. There is a link at the bottom of each section, in case a different language is needed.
​
The drop-down menu should show the type of Mac you are using: Intel or Apple Silicon.
Step 2
Click the drop-down menu
This step is not necessary, if the right type of Mac is already selected. If it is not, click the menu for the desired version. Then click macOS (Apple Silicon) or macOS (Intel).
Step 3
Click the Download button
The download will be stored in the folder your Web browser has been set to download documents OS-College has videos and other instructions about changing the download to folder in several different Web browsers.
Step 4
Go to the folder where LibreOffice DMG was downloaded
Double click it to launch the LibreOffice installer.
Step 5
Drag the LibreOffice icon to the Applications folder icon
The green arrow between the two icons in the launcher suggests the action. It should take LibreOffice a minute or two to install after the icon is dragged.
