It is possible. If you want 5.0.2 specifically (not sure why...having identical versions on all machines really isn't required) but here are steps (assuming you're using 64 bit machine):
1. Download the debian package located: https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/5.0.2.2/deb/x86_64/LibreOffice_5.0.2.2_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz ; 2. Untar the file (navigate to folder using your file browser, right click on .tar.gz, uncompress it); 3. open terminal 4. use "cd" command to navigate to the DEBS folder inside of the uncompressed folder you just uncompressed, for example if I uncompressed the tar.gz to ~/Downloads then I would be something like this "cd ~/Downloads/[FOLDER NAME]/DEBS 5. sudo dpkg -i *.deb for the help files: https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/5.0.2.2/deb/x86_64/ Download the relevant one and install the debian file the same way as described above.
