    Question Liblouis Install. How?

    Hello,
    I have tried to find an answer to this for a week before posting here. I have come up with nothing, so that is why I post here.
    I would only ask if you are going to ridicule me or tell me that has been posted about many times over, please reconsider.

    My issue is, I cannot get Liblouis Braille translation software on my machine, a Sytem76 Kudu with Ubuntu 14.04.
    I run this command:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install liblouis-data
    And then, get this:

    Code:
    lem@lem-Kudu:~$ sudo apt-get update
    [sudo] password for lem:

    lem@lem-Kudu:~$
    What do I do after that? When I run a search to try to find out where whatever I
    just downloaded, went, nothing comes up. The search function says nothing with
    "Liblouis" is on my machine despite the what the terminal says . . .
    So, in short, I want to get this liblouis braille translation software on my machine
    but cannot figure out what I am doing or even looking for. As a new Linux user, this
    and similar software situations have been very frustrating. There is no contact info
    on the Liblouis page. I would be eternally grateful if someone might provide some
    information about this designed for a person who has virtually no knowledge of this
    stuff. Thanks in advance!
