You'll need to right-click LanguageTool-3.5.zip, select Extract here and then double-click the languagetool.jar file in the unzipped top-most folder (LanguageTool-3.5).


There was a typo in my instruction, it should read:

Code:
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-java-common
Okay, thanks. I got it in LO.

I ran that new java common command. Then I downloaded the 3.5 oxt and overrode the 3.4 that was in the LO extension manager. Then I "ADDed" it to the extension manager. Then the Language Tool was in LO. And it's nice!

I couldn't get the Language Tool stand alone though. Here's what I did:

1) Downloaded the 3.5 Zip. in the Downloads folder
2) Right clicked on it and chose 'extract here'
3) Found the folder that says Language-Tool-3.5
4) Double left clicked on that (it opened)
5) Double left clicked on the brown (see 187) languagetool.jar (whatever it is)
6) That produced the screenshot 189. After that the wheel did spin as if it was trying to open something but nothing did open.

So I tried the terminal.

Code:
gregory@gregory-GA-A55M-DS2:~$ cd Downloads
gregory@gregory-GA-A55M-DS2:~/Downloads$ java -jar languagetool.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile languagetool.jar
gregory@gregory-GA-A55M-DS2:~/Downloads$ java -jar languagetool.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile languagetool.jar
gregory@gregory-GA-A55M-DS2:~/Downloads$
No luck.

And that's as far as I got.

P.S. You probably already know about this but I found this link:
