No, I downloaded brltty-6.0.tar.gz unpacked it with tar zxf then
cd brltty-6.0
./configure \
	--enable-i18n \
	--enable-icu \
	--disable-java-bindings \
	--disable-tcl-bindings \
	--disable-lisp-bindings \
	--disable-ocaml-bindings \
	--disable-x \
	--disable-contracted-braille \
	--with-braille-driver=al \
	--with-curses=ncurses \
	--with-screen-driver=lx

After that I do  a make  and make install.
Of course you should restart after that one way or another.
