How do I install LibreOffice 4.0.2?

After I upgraded to 13.04 I noticed that Libreoffice 4.0.2 wasn't working, at all. When I click its launcher I get the this start up box:

enter image description here

which amounts to no program being opened.

I have downloaded the tarball from this webpage and extracted it and ran sudo apt-get purge libreoffice4.0 to clear all prior installations and then I cd to the directory of the extracted tarball, then I ran sudo dpkg -i *.deb and then went cd to the desktop-integration subdirectory and then ran sudo dpkg -i *.deb and received the output:

dpkg: regarding libreoffice4.0-debian-menus_4.0.2-2_all.deb containing libreoffice-

debian-menus:

 libreoffice-core conflicts with libreoffice-unbundled

  libreoffice-debian-menus provides libreoffice-unbundled and is to be installed.



dpkg: error processing libreoffice4.0-debian-menus_4.0.2-2_all.deb (--install):

First of all you need to remove any previous installations of Libreoffice.(if any)

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get autoremove

There are 2 ways to install:

1.

Add the right repository:

Warning: if you have another LibreOffice PPA installed, you might have to remove it first

Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the commands below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

2.

Download the right Libreoffice package for you, and press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, navigate to the folder where the file was downloaded extract the archive. run the command below:

tar -xzvf libreoffice*.tar.gz

Then do

cd libreoffice*/DEBS

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Once done, then

cd desktop-integration

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

That's it.
