liblouis is an open-source library for low-level translation of phrases into braille, supporting many, many languages. We rely on Python bindings for this library to translate all of the literary text (non-math) to braille for a document, so this is an essential piece of the pipeline. Once installed, its use is transparent. This appendix outlines two alternative installation methods, current as of 2025-12-19, on Linux, Mac, and Windows Subsystem for Linux. Contributions of adjustments for other operating systems are welcome.
