[BRLTTY] which archive to install

>This pc is an amd 64 bit running ubuntu 16.04.

That shouldn't matter. What matters more is if you've installed the packages 
for the brltty features that you'd like to have. This also includes the 
developer packages for the features. In Ubuntu, they're names are usually 
suffixed with -dev.

>I have been trying to install  brltty-5.6.tar.bz2.
>Is that appropriate or would another archive be better?

That should be fine. With those (the .tar.* archives), you don't need to run 
autogen. Just configure, and then make.
