How do I install open office on a linux eeePC?
I have tried to install openoffice 4.0.1 onto my eee pc, which is running linux I have tried the unpack way but apparently I do not have permission. How do I get this permission?
I have also tried the commands that I found online yet when I run the code it states there is no such file or directory, yet the file I wish to install is in the directory I am running the file from.
I am new to Linux so I apologize if I have not got the terminology correct.

LibreOffice should be installed by default on Ubuntu. Isn't it? Reading your question, I'm wondering: are you sure you are using using Ubuntu? What doeslsb_release -isays?

First, if you use Ubuntu, I suppose that Libreoffice is already installed. I would suggest you to use it, as it is a fork of OpenOffice, and it works very well.
If yoou really need to install OpenOffice, I would not suggest you to keep Libreoffice. To remove Libreoffice:
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
Once Libreoffice is totally removed, go to this website (you will be sure to get the last version):
http://www.openoffice.org/download/
Or you may try this (I am not sure of the version):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/office
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openoffice

You don't really answer how to install Open Office in your answer. Do you? You should at least explain why you are suggesting this alternative. Also I don't like the link to libreoffice. Why do you suggest to install it with a download instead of installing it with the software-center or with apt-get?
