LanguageTool requires a Java runtime environment (JRE). Make sure that Java is installed and enabled in LibreOffice/OpenOffice. Choose Tools→Options→Advanced→Java. Ensure that “Use a Java runtime environment” is checked, and that a JRE appears in the list below. (It takes a few seconds to load.)
To test whether a JRE is installed, open a terminal window and enter:
If you don't get a version number, you'll need to enter the following command to install a JRE:
Code:
sudo apt-get install default-jre
If you're not comfortable using the terminal, you could also install Java with Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic, if it's installed. (Search for
java-common.)
After the JRE installation you'll need to check the “Use a Java runtime environment” in LibreOffice.
