I'm on ubuntu 16.04, i have libreoffice installed. /usr/bin/libreoffice does not exist though, so i apt-get installed libreoffice-base. It still doesn't work though. Kinda stumped, any ideas?

Hi.
I solved this by installing fresh LibreOffice from here:
After unpacking archive run sudo dpkg -i *.deb in DEBS subdirectory to install LibreOffice 5.2.
Default install location is /opt/libreoffice5.2/

Then force using this version by setting UNO_PATH - to run unoconv:
UNO_PATH=/opt/libreoffice5.2 unoconv

lukasz@ubudev:~/CSV$ UNO_PATH=/opt/libreoffice5.2 unoconv


unoconv: you have to provide a filename or url as argument
Try `unoconv -h' for more information.

I noticed package libobasis5.2-pyuno_5.2.2.2-2_amd64.deb in DEBS.
I'm pretty sure that if you will download installer for your LibreOffice version and install this package it will do the job.

Glad you found a solution.

I recently encountered this as well. ERROR: No module named 'base' is usually caused by installing another module also called "uno".

pip uninstall uno usually solves that.
