2. Install the Extension


Run LibreOffice Writer and go to menu Tools > Extension Manager > click Add > choose the .oxt file you've downloaded > click Open > click Agree to the license (don't worry it's free software, it respects your freedom).




4. Restart Writer


Restart LibreOffice and you should notice the change.

5. What You Get


By installing eLAIX, you get a new toolbar and a new menu. They are both the same, contain all buttons of eLAIX. You should notice the green "Export EPUB Document" button on the left.
