How to do an "semi-offline" install on Linux?
Hi! I want to install calibre on a CentOS/RHEL 7 Linux system (accessing the UI via X from another machine).
On the Linux system I cannot download large files. (I do have internet, but not for large files.)

@kovidgoyal Thanks for the pointer!
I just followed the instructions using calibre-4.11.2-x86_64.txz. However the last step Code:
sudo /opt/calibre/calibre_postinstall Code:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "site.py", line 75, in main File "site-packages/calibre/__init__.py", line 23, in <module> File "site-packages/calibre/startup.py", line 204, in <module> File "site-packages/calibre/utils/icu.py", line 30, in <module> RuntimeError: Failed to load icu with error: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by /opt/calibre/lib/libicui18n.so.64) Code:
sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64 /opt/calibre/calibre_postinstall How can I fix this? |

your glibc version is too old, look on the download page where the version requirements are mentioned.

It's CentOS 7! But if this is too old, is there a way to update the glibc?

Centos 7 is 6 years old. And no I would not recommend updating libc update the entire distro to centos 8
