It is general term "free software". Generally, it is installed each by its own instructions. It is as question like how to eat the food. Specific food have its specific instructions. To help the Librarian, you could ask which specific software they would like to install? Then there are many good pointers on https://www.gnu.org and free operating systems, and then there are package managers for single pieces of software. Each free and FSF endorsed operating system has little different instructions on how to install it.
