DC Install section doesn't include spreadsheets

[sstevens2]

While I expect most people have a spreadsheet program installed, we usually like to be explicit about these things. It is needed in the DC ecology workshop and I think some other DC workshops as well. Below is a copy of the old text and a link to an old workshop website where it was used.

Also git is included in the DC syllabus but it is in any DC workshops?

A spreadsheet program
For this workshop you will need a spreadsheet program. Many people already have Microsoft Excel installed, and if you do, you're set!
If you need a spreadsheet program, there are a few other options, like OpenOffice and LibreOffice. Install instructions for LibreOffice, which is free and open source, are here.
Download the Installer
Install LibreOffice by going to the installation page. The version for Windows should automatically be selected. Click on the button below "Main Installer" Download Version x.y.z. You will go to a page that asks about a donation, but you don't need to make one. Your download should begin automatically.
Install LibreOffice
Once the installer is downloaded, double click on it and it should install.
To use LibreOffice, double click on the icon and it will open.

Thanks for this issue @sstevens2. I'm adding @fmichonneau to the thread, as he is managing all of the templates.

The current syllabus for Data Carpentry (and the technical approach) is out of date. We need to scope this out as a project and find a way to include syllabi for all the various DC workshops (ecology, genomics, geospatial, social sciences, ...)

with #608 the installation instructions are provided by the lessons themselves for Data Carpentry workshops which include instructions on how to install libreoffice.
