Good evening
I'm struggling to install LibreOffice on my MAC... In vain. I've followed the instructions provided; however, when I went to the App Store, I noticed that there was a paid version of LibreOffice Vanilla (18.99 Euros)... Could this explain it?......
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Have a good evening everyone.

Hello,

Libre Office for Mac is still free.

Maybe you downloaded Libre Office from the wrong place?

The correct site is here:

https://fr.libreoffice.org/get-help/install-howto/os-x/

Delete everything you downloaded or partially installed, and redo the download and installation from scratch.

After installation, the first launch takes a long time, but that's normal.

P.S.: I don't know your exact Mac model, but if it can run OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), there's no reason not to upgrade to OS X 10.11 (El Capitan), or even higher...

Hello,

Great for Libre Office then ;)

Next, Mac therefore accepts a total of 8 GB of RAM. This is through 2 slots, with each of these slots containing a 4 GB stick of the following type:

204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

The installation is easy:

Hello,

If the Mac is an older model, it may accept an increase in its RAM. Since 2012, it has not been possible to modify the memory on iMacs, except for the 27" models. But until the 2011 models, this was possible. There are then 2 or 4 slots accessible to the user. This depends on the exact model of the Mac.

In any case, above Mac OS X 10.7, 4 GB of memory is really too little. 8 GB would be a minimum.

That being said, if the Mac is currently running Yosemite, it will run El Capitan more smoothly. Let's say less painfully... Yosemite is "not as well made" as El Capitan.

Best regards.

Thank you for your advice, I downloaded from the link you provided, and I will start over. My Mac is already an old model, one of those with a built-in DVD drive, and I only have 4 GB of RAM, maybe if I install El Capitan it will slow down.
Have a nice day.
Best regards

Thank you for all this information, my device is a 24-inch iMac from early 2009, I will inquire about increasing the memory, it tells me that both memory slots are occupied so 2 sticks of 2 GB DDR3 1067 MHz and in the system information there is this indication: Memory can be upgraded: yes. So there is a possibility to improve. Oh! LibreOffice has been installed and is working!
Thank you for all your information. Have a good day to you and to everyone in the forum.
