The docs cannot go into the specifics for each distro, or we'd be here for years just trying to cover all the variations. The Linux install instructions in the LibreOffice documentation does cover how to install the generic LibreOffice from the downloaded bundle (RPM/DEB)... but that's not what you're doing if you're using yum to do the install on Fedora 20. When you installed with "yum install libreoffice-writer", you didn't install all of libreoffice. For Fedora, from command line, you need to use: yum install libreoffice This is the top level that should pull in the minimum dependencies for LibreOffice (note that it's libreoffice not libreoffice-writer). I don't have my Fedora 20 up and running at the moment... I can't remember if this installs the Gnome/KDE integration for you (depending on which window manager you are using). Assuming all went well, LibreOffice should be available in your menus. If not, you can launch from command line using: soffice (Note: You may also be able to use "libreoffice" on the command line to launch LibreOffice... this should work on most distros... "soffice" though should always work) Clayton -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
