    The latest release of calibre is 2.12.0. What's new.
    Please do not use your distribution provided calibre package, as those are often
    buggy/outdated. Instead use the Binary install described below.

    Binary install
    calibre has a binary install that includes private versions of all its dependencies. It runs on
    32-bit and 64-bit Intel compatible machines. To install or upgrade, simply copy paste the
    following command into a terminal and press Enter:
    sudo -v && wget -nv -Ohttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/setup/linuxinstaller.py | sudo python -c "import sys;
    main=lambda:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n');
    exec(sys.stdin.read()); main()"

    If you get an error about an untrusted certificate, that means your computer does not have any
    root certificates installed and so cannot download the installer securely. If you still want to
    proceed, pass the --no-check-certificate option to wget, like this:

    sudo -v && wget --no-check-certificate -nv -Ohttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/setup/linuxinstaller.py | sudo python -c "import sys;
    main=lambda:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n');
    exec(sys.stdin.read()); main()"

    You must have xdg-utils, wget and python 2.6 installed on your system before running the
    installer.
    You can uninstall calibre by running sudo calibre-uninstaller. Alternately, simply deleting the
    installation directory will remove 99% of installed files.
    You need GLIBC 2.13 or higher and libstdc++.so.6.0.17 (from gcc 4.7.0) or higher to run
    calibre
    You can change the directory calibre is installed into from the default (/opt) like this:

    sudo -v && wget -nv -Ohttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/setup/linuxinstaller.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda
    x:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read());
    main('/opt')"

    Change /opt above to whatever directory you want calibre automatically installed to.
    You can also do an "isolated" install that only touches files inside the installation directory
    and does not need to be run as root, like this:

    wget -nv -Ohttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/setup/linuxinstaller.py | python -c "import sys; main=lambda


    x,y:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read());
    main('~/calibre-bin', True)"

    If you wish to revert to an earlier calibre release or download a calibre upgrade manually,
    download the tarball of that release from here (choose the 32-bit or 64-bit version, as
    appropriate). Assuming you installed calibre in /opt/calibre, run the following command:
    sudo rm -rf /opt/calibre/* && sudo tar xvf
    /path/to/downloaded/calibre-tarball.txz -C /opt/calibre

    Source install
    WARNING: calibre is a highly complex piece of software with lots
    of very finicky dependencies. If you install from source,
    you are on your own. Please do not open bug reports or
    expect any form of support. You have been warned.

    If you're still determined to install from source, read on:
