I'm using python and Open Document Files to generate document from CRM then to convert them into PDF format. In this configuration Libre Office is running as a service. That works perfectly on my Desktop development computer without any problem.
The production environment will be a 12.04 Server without GUI and I don't want to be obliged to install Gnome or KDE. Is there a way to have some kind of core installation of Libre Office onto a server without GUI?

The Libreoffice packages depend on
libreoffice-core
, andlibreoffice-core
alone drags in 90+ packages:So you can't get away with installing any fewer. The
libreoffice
package brings in about 30 more packages. However, if you don't install the integration packages (libreoffice-gnome
,libreoffice-kde
), you wouldn't bring in the GNOME/KDE components. Thelibreoffice
doesn't depend on these integration packages, so you should be OK with installing justlibreoffice
