## 3. Installation and configuration BrlAPI

`make install` will install libbrlapi.so in /lib, and include files in /usr/include/brltty. An authentication key will also typically be set in /etc/brlapi.key, but won't be readable by anybody else than root. It is up to you to define a group of users who will have the right to read it and hence be able to connect to the server. For instance, you may want to do:

> `

>     # addgroup brlapi
>     # chgrp brlapi /etc/brlapi.key
>     # chmod g+r /etc/brlapi.key
>     # addgroup user1 brlapi
>     # addgroup user2 brlapi
>     ...

> `
