Binary install

${app} has a binary installer that has been tested on a number of distributions on both 32-bit and 64-bit x86 machines. To install, copy paste the following command into a terminal and press Enter:

sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/download_linux_binary_installer').read(); main()"
                            

Note

  • When running the command line utilities, they will segfault after completion. This can be ignored.
  • You must have help2man and xdg-utils installed on your system before running the installer.
  • On a 64bit machine, you must have 32-bit versions of common libraries like X11, freetype, fontconfig, expat and their varios dependencies installed.

Source install

  1. Make sure your system has python ≥ ${dependencies[0][1]}
  2. Install the various dependencies listed below
  3. Run the following commands in a terminal:
wget -O- http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/downloads/${app}-${version}.tar.gz | tar xvz 
cd calibre*
python setup.py build && sudo python setup.py install
sudo calibre_postinstall
