Linux Noob looking for Ubuntu download button
I've swapped my internet browsing (including e-books) computer to Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope, and wanted to download the Ubuntu version of Calibre.
I can't find the button on the page. I really, REALLY hate to post such a dumb question, but--where is it? Thanks, Clair |

just copy paste the following command into a terminal and press Enter:
sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()" |

Thanks--I did that, and it sorta worked.
Now I have this message: ImportError: No module named sipconfig |

sudo apt-get install calibre |

This is one of the few times I recommend against using the repository version. Use the command landix gave and accept the default "/opt" unless you have pressing reasons to choose otherwise. You will be asked to supply the sudo password as part of the install (same as if you had used apt-get) |

semi-OT:
well, I use it (though I only used it for a short time and not with many books), and really didn't have complaints :-) So I never checked the version.. And I usually try to keep to repository versions, because you tend to have less trouble with these when you upgrade the OS etc... If you can hold out a bit longer, lucid will have 6.42 ;-) Last edited by triss; 04-12-2010 at 11:18 AM. |
