To install FineReader Engine library in automatic mode, run the installation script %archive_name%.sh and select Runtime installation option during installation. After installation specify the path to the Bin folder of the distribution package in the system variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Alternatively, use ldconfig utility to specify the path to Bin folder. A command line can look like this: 
echo "<path to Bin folder>" | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf; sudo ldconfig
