[ale] just installed LibreOffice in Linux, should have been easier

[Michael Trausch]

cmd1 && cmd2

The && says run cmd2 only if the exit status of cmd1 indicates success (that
is, is 0). The opposite of that is:

cmd1 || cmd2

Which says to run cmd2 if the exit status of cmd1 is something other than 0.
