How to install Caliber on any GNU / Linux distribution

One of the applications that surely many of you already know is not yet in the standard installations of many distributions. In this case I mean Caliber. The popular free and free ebook manager despite being a widely used tool, it is not yet at the level of LibreOffice or Mozilla Firefox in distributions.

That is why many users always have to install Caliber once they install Linux or run out of it for not knowing how to install it. Next we tell you how to install Caliber in any Gnu / Linux distribution.

Currently we can install Caliber through two methods. The simplest of all is through official repositories. This means that we have to use the basic tools to install a program and we will find Caliber.

Even if you have Caliber, sometimes our distribution does not have the latest version of this ebook manager

This can be done in distributions that are based on Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora, but some others do not have this method or as in the case of Ubuntu, the version is very old. To install the latest version of Caliber, we just have to open a terminal and type the following:

sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main()"

Behind this the download of the latest Caliber package and its installation will begin. If we have another distribution that is not based on Ubuntu or Debian, we have to change "sudo -V" for the corresponding command since the rest of the commands are found in many distributions. We must also change "sudo python" by the corresponding command of our distribution.

In addition we will need to fulfill certain dependencies among which will be have Python and language related libraries that will allow us to install and run Caliber as well as other libraries that you can find in this link.

In general, both installing and meeting the needs of Caliber is easy as well as finding it in the official repositories of each distribution. In any case, it never hurts to know and know these installation methods Do not you think?
