Install KindleGen on Linux

Open Y0seph opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

So, I'm a noob, and I can't figure out how to get KindleGen (ik it has been discontinued) Where do I get the files, where do I have to move, and are there any commands I should write to get it running?

KindleGen – which offers a command line interface and supports Linux, Mac OSX and Windows – has been deprecated, but binaries can still be found on the internet.)

  • Download kindlegen from archive website
$ wget https://archive.org/download/kindlegen_linux_2_6_i386_v2_9/kindlegen_linux_2.6_i386_v2_9.tar.gz
  • Extract kindlegen from archive to $HOME folder
$ unzip kindlegen_linux_2.6_i386_v2_9.tar.gz
  • Copy kindlegen into '/usr/local/bin'(you should change 'h2t' for your user name)
$ sudo cp -R '/home/h2t/Desktop/kindlegen' '/usr/local/bin'
  • Grant full permission to read/write/excutive to kindlegen for MOBI conversion.
$ sudo chmod +rwx '/usr/local/bin/kindlegen'

Tested on Linux Mint 20.3 but it will work with other Linux debian distros.

reopen if needed

There is a better way to do so imo. First, install Kindlegen using this link : https://archive.org/download/kindlegen/kindlegen (it will install the binary file). Next, open the terminal and cd Downloads (or whatever directory you've downloaded the binary file). Then follow the installation instructions on the wiki : https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/wiki/Installation#appimage (Skip the X11 part if you're on Wayland like me). Here is the result image
