The environment I work in:

Ubuntu 19.10
LibreOffice 6.3.3.2

The LibreOffice SDK requires a path to a LibreOffice installation:

"*OFFICE_HOME*: Path to an existing LibreOffice installation, e.g. "/opt/libreoffice8". Be sure that it is not a user installation only."

My question: can I use the LibreOffice that is in the Ubuntu repository for this purpose?

In other words, will the following suffice:

$ sudo apt-get install libreoffice

and then I tried to find the installation directory, which seems to be:

/usr/lib/libreoffice/

yes and no.

if you install the SDK from Ubuntu repository too then you have to use the Ubuntu libreoffice package. i'm not sure what it's called; in Fedora it's "libreoffice-sdk".

if you install the SDK from TDF upstream packages you have to install LibreOffice from TDF upstream packages.

Is this adequate? Or is this "only a user installation"?

i'm not sure what "user installation" refers to here, but possibly it is the user configuration directory, cf. soffice -env:UserInstallation=...

If it is not adequate, what is the most efficient way to install a "non-user" version of LibreOffice on my machine? Should that be done manually (compiling from source for example?) Or can I make use of other standard packages in the Ubuntu repository? Or...?

Thank you so much.
