+Install several additional components and Python libs:
+
+- [Py3o Fusion server](https://bitbucket.org/faide/py3o.fusion),
+- [Py3o render server](https://bitbucket.org/faide/py3o.renderserver),
+- a Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which can be OpenJDK,
+- Libreoffice started in the background in headless mode,
+- the Java driver for Libreoffice (Juno).
+
+It is also possible to use the Python driver for Libreoffice (PyUNO),
+but it is recommended to use the Java driver because it is more stable.
+
+The installation procedure below uses the Java driver. It has been
+successfully tested on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS ; if you use another OS, you may
+have to change a few details.
+
+Installation of Libreoffice, JRE and required Java libs on
+Debian/Ubuntu:
+
+``` 
+sudo apt-get install default-jre ure libgoogle-gson-java libreoffice-java-common libreoffice-writer
+```
+
+You may have to install additionnal fonts. For example, to have the
+special unicode symbols for phone/fax/email in the PDF reports generated
+by Py3o, you should install the following package:
+
+``` 
+sudo apt-get install fonts-symbola
+```
+
+Installation of py3o.fusion:
+
+``` 
+pip3 install py3o.fusion
+pip3 install service-identity
+```
+
+Installation of py3o.renderserver:
+
+``` 
+pip3 install py3o.renderserver
+```
+
+At the end, with the dependencies, you should have the following py3o
+python libs:
+
+``` 
+% pip3 freeze | grep py3o
+py3o.formats==0.3
+py3o.fusion==0.8.9
+py3o.renderclient==0.3
+py3o.renderers.juno==0.8.1
+py3o.renderserver==0.5.2
+py3o.template==0.10.0
+py3o.types==0.1.1
+```
+
+Start the Py3o Fusion server:
+
+``` 
+start-py3o-fusion --debug -s localhost -i localhost
+```
+
+Start the Py3o render server:
+
+``` 
+start-py3o-renderserver --java=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/lib/server/libjvm.so --ure=/usr/share --office=/usr/lib/libreoffice --driver=juno --sofficeport=8997 -i localhost
+```
+
+On the output of the Py3o render server, the first line looks like:
+
+``` 
+DEBUG:root:Starting JVM: /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/lib/server/libjvm.so with options: -Djava.class.path=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/py3o/renderers/juno/py3oconverter.jar:/usr/share/java/juh.jar:/usr/share/java/jurt.jar:/usr/share/java/ridl.jar:/usr/share/java/unoloader.jar:/usr/share/java/java_uno.jar:/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/classes/unoil.jar -Xmx150M
+```
+
+After **-Djava.class.path**, there is a list of Java libs with *.jar*
+extension ; check that each JAR file is really present on your
+filesystem. If one of the jar files is present in another directory,
+create a symlink that points to the real location of the file. If all
+the jar files are present on another directory, adapt the *--ure=*
+argument on the command line of Py3o render server.
+
+To check that the Py3o Fusion server is running fine, visit the URL
+<http://>\<IP_address\>:8765/form. On this web page, under the section
+*Target format*, make sure that you have a line *This server currently
+supports these formats: ods, odt, docx, doc, html, docbook, pdf, xls.*.
+
+If you want to produce valid PDF/A documents with this module,
+activating the corresponding option in the PDF Export Options may not be
+enough, you also have to make sure that all the fonts used in the
+document template are installed on the Odoo server, so that they can be
+embedded in the PDF/A document. For example, if your document template
+uses the Arial font, you should install that font on your Odoo server:
+
+``` 
+sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
+```
