LinuxLite 4.8 Nice Clean Install

[Moltke]

I actually did use that link the other day, I must have done something to upset the process.
Tonight I re tried that link and instruction but to no avail, so not sure what I was missing.

Well, unless you "miswrote" your previous post where you said that

Looked up the Apache open office , downloaded, it was a tar.gz

you didn't download the .deb file, which you can easily install by double-clicking on it, but a tar.gz compressed file which contains the source code and is way more difficult to install.
