Install Calligra on Mint 13 - How?

[pnguine]

Can't find Calligra in synaptic. Added suggested ppa "kubuntu-backports" (Calliga page does not mention Mint). Still no Calligra. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You don't need backports

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install calligra

Thanks but here's what I get:

Code: Select all

 $ sudo apt-get install calligra
[sudo] password for phil:

Looks like I'm on 12 - I thought it was 13.

Any problems if I do a dist-upgrade? I've read it's not recommended. I really don't want to do a 'clean install' (in M$ terminology).
And I don't remember if I installed Mate or Cinnamon or if I've got some sort of hybrid. Is there a way to tell?
Or.. any idea how I could get it onto 12?
TIA

Code: Select all

cat /etc/lsb-release

You may need to look for kOffice not Calligra

Dist-Upgrade is not my choice

Whatever you do, backup. And only ever go up 1 release at a time

Thanks again. I think I'll put it on the back burner until I upgrade following the guide here http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2. I was only interested in Calligra because I'm kinda annoyed by application programs that are written in java - especially now that the oracle octopus owns it. (But then I'm not sure that Calligra is a compiled program anyway. )
